almost $3 billion spent on un seat bid

Rowan Dean, a Fin Review journo, was a panellist on The Nation programme on Sky News tonight.

He said he understood that the Rudd/Gillard governments have spent almost $3 billion dollars on the Australian bid for a UN seat.

Another panellist was the egotistical and very rude Doug Cameron - giggles, smirks and interupts other panellists constantly. Doug,who considers himself an economic expert, poo-pooed this figure, of course.
