Talking Headlines - by Bill Green

 

PM Kevin's Rudd hubritic revelry

June 8th 2008 05:02
PM Kevin has sprung himself: he's been drinking too often from his well of hubris. He wants a united Asia in the style of the European Economic Union. Explained quickly, in one sentence, it appears to be impressive. Looked at a fraction more closely there appears to be a clash of cultures, a clash of style as far as governments are concerned, and a clash of currency. The Euro was the choice of all. Imagine pulling in Thailand, Burma, Vietnam, New Guinea, Indonesia, East Timor, Singapore, and any others that Kevin would suggest on his overdose of vanity, and then his choosing a currency that would suit all.


Of course if you paid a few of them in any currency at all they would fall into line.

Those countries would just love Australia to choose a new style of government for them. Kevin could talk to them in Mandarin, even pretend that he carried Chinese heaviness with him.

It should be remember that there was a European common market existing for thirty years before the union emerged. And that there had been several wars (hot and cold) between them all in the previous century. Those conflicts had to occur so that some countries were humiliated, or come close to it, so that they could even listen to other nations' ideas for the future.
