I have to ask,
Why the hell is the Deputy PM traveling as our representative, on a commercial jet to a meeting of the UN?
Why is it not provided a 787-BBJ in green and gold livery, AUSTRALIA in big letters down the side of the fuselage and a Kangaroo on the tail.
You know when the Japaneses, Koreans, Americans, French, Russians etc are in town. Their aircraft wave the national flag, projecting a sense of presence.
Its like the Hollywood stars arriving at a premiere in limos, while our one comes on the bus.
We are really a two bit country.
