You have to remember too you are dealing with a government that had to be publicly humiliated into giving funding to the Australian War Museum. The only reason they succumbed to that was the hypocrisy that they knew the PM was going to announce a spend over 3 million to build some type of memorial in the US and knowing this mobs record that much would probably buy a couple of red roses, and by the time they got them there they would be the wrong type of flower and dead. ( A brilliant tactical move by a member of the AWM to I might say to squeeze the money from this governement).
