Yeah we need that money to spend on sports stadiums

Right. And our closest neighbour - one of the biggest growing countries in Asia - a country of over 200 million - is a waste of money.

The don’t call it the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for nothing. That money gets spent on roads and ports for economic reasons, not welfare. That, and to stop them thinking of invading us. Like the Japs.

Ask the CEO of Coca Cola Amatil what he thinks of laying a sealed road through a rregion of a million people. It saves him getting his product there by mule.

He’ll also tell you Indonesia is developing rapidly and has a hugely growing population, most of it under 27.

Still, a population of 22 million hitting retirement age needs more sports ovals.

Common sense, innit.

Yet while we have bulk billing slowly disappearing, hospital waiting lists, roads that need fixing (the Bruce Highway north of the Noosa turn off is a smacking disgrace for the National highway), thousands of unemployed and homeless, we spend millions on a foreign country so they might be nice to us in the future?

You forgot stopping the baby bonus and killing all our children.

If the government started spending more money on the unemployed and all those lazy homeless junkies, I’m sure you’d find the time to have a nice old groan.

It’s a win-win, Mistie. You get to have a well-earned whinge either way.

Can’t do that, Imperium. What scientist is going to regulate the production of boongs and gimps and ugly old bags for nothing?

If we’re going to have the scientifically cleansed utopia we deserve, we need to employ the best and brightest.

Not the people at Mistie’s uni though. They just criticize their own culture. Honky might be up for it, but he doesn’t come cheap. Let’s face it, when you want the best, you have to pay for the best.

I’m still thinking about the muff divers, Mistie. I’ll have to get back to you on that one.
