Beags these class-hating Ruddinistas won't want HM to visit until after they've installed one of their party hack cronies into Yarralumla, if ever again.

I hope like heck that there ARE options. The fleet ordered was small as it was; losing (note 1 'o' herkman) 40% of the fleet in one swoop IOT placate the jackals of the press is an outrage.

"The Howard government reduced the VIP fleet, forcing the media to make its own way on overseas visits." Didn't the last government change 34 SQN from 5 x 900Bs to the current 2 x BBJs and 3 x 604s? Isn't that an increase?

BTW sorry for lashing out herkman - read the headline and my blood started boiling, you got in the way.
