But then again, I'm unhappy with my Australian taxes being spent on mandatory detention of assylum seekers (including children), on lame 'anti-terrorist' media campaigns, on repairing broken Collins class submarines, on sending Australian troops to Iraq, on... on... erm... on just about anything the Howard Government spends a cent on.

all of those issues have been, imo, a complete disgrace.
i´m still failing to see any logical argument as to why we have to pay for this little brat to enjoy time on Kerry Packers ´ranch´... if he wants the true Aussie experience, then he should leave the security detail at home, book a hostel in Coogee or Kings Cross and get ready for a really really nasty sunburn.
