Australians just paid about $2000 a minute for an absurd press conference on Christmas Island that told them nothing new.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison tours North West Point Detention Centre on Christmas Island, on Wednesday.This breezy outlay of taxpayer cash is cynical and wasteful just weeks before the government releases a federal budget that will confirm deficits of $360 billion over the past decade. The flight from Christmas Island to Perth costs about $15,000 and the return to Canberra another $14,000. These are approximate figures based on flights taken in previous years and costed by the RAAF.
Australians have heard each of these arguments before, usually at no extra charge in a press conference from Parliament House.

Lettuce on Christmas Island can cost $15, but an ambitious farmer is changing thatPrevious attempts to grow food on a large scale on Christmas Island, where fresh food is an expensive luxury, have failed. But now an ambitious farmer is fighting the odds, and succeeding. . Considering how many people (stock brokers, bankers, shareholders) earn money without contributing to the wellbeing of people or environment, far more support and attention needs to be given to local farmers who provide people with fresh and healthy produce. .
