At a time when the government is plunging this nation into record debt, why should tens of millions of dollars of additional taxpayers’ money be spent on a vote-buying spree in Africa and Latin America to support the Prime Minister’s personal ambition of a temporary seat on the United Nations Security Council? Are Australians paying for his job application as UN Secretary-General?
