REVIEW: WHO better to ram up the marriage equality celebrations than a Minogue?
Dannii Minogue, a long time supporter of equal rights, took to the hometown stage in a rainbow-coloured Wonder Woman dress, waving a rainbow flag.
Minogue is the over-qualified opener for British band Take That on their first Australian tour in 22 years.
