Daddy, my 45 helicopters that you bought me for Christmas are broken! Chuck them in the rubbish son, and don't worry about the cost or environmental impacts as we won't tell mummy - keep it a secret son!!!!
Also not forgetting that government decided to purchase a lemon that's been plagued with problems for the AAD that can't refuel in Hobart. And there was the 19 million given away to consultants to decide that it wasn't a good idea to build an airstrip in Antarctica.
