They should do move APEC out to Lord Howe Island.
1. It's 400nm from land.
2. They could hire out the whole island (400 or so people there at a time anyhow)
3. It'd be hard to sneak up on.
4. Makes no impact to Sydney siders wanting to go about their normal business.
5. Cost a whole heap less (even after paying off the resorts, being winter prices)
6. Show off one of our heritage listed sites.
7. No need to move our animals from the zoo for some stupid private viewing. There are goats on LHI.
Makes sense to me.
