Prime Minister Albanese visits a remote Northern TerritoryAboriginal Reservation. With news crews following him around as they tour theplace, the Prime Minister asks the chief if there is anything they need.
"Well," says the chief, "We have three veryimportant needs. First, we have a medical clinic but no doctor to man it."
Albo whips out his phone, dials a number, talks to somebody fortwo minutes and then hangs up. "I've pulled some strings. Your doctor willarrive in a few days. Now what was the second problem?
"We have no way to get clean water. The local miningoperation has poisoned the water our people have been drinking for dozens ofyears. We've been flying bottled water in, and it's terribly expensive."
Once again, Albo dials a number, yells into the phone for a fewminutes, and then hangs up. "The mine has been shut down, and the owner isbeing billed for setting up a purification plant for your people. Now what wasthat third problem?"
The chief looks at him and says: "Wehave no mobile phone reception up here!"
