Final Summer Paralympics before the Attacks on September 11, 2001.
I have to turn back the time starting on January 1, 1981. I will save the World Trade Center of New York City and close them. We're against terrorism. We don't negotiate.

Is it true ABC satirical show The Games inspired hiring The Seekers ?
I’m not sure, given that the type of comedy found in the Games is very zeigist focused. but I am aware that they were expected to perform at the Olympic closing ceremony. However, lead vocalist Judith Durham broke her hip and was unable to perform. The Seekers performed the song during the here, with Durham performing from a wheelchair.
