look at PNG and take note

The majority, the 52% who share PM Howard's vision of the free enterprise Australia should look at this most of free private enterprise and smallest of public enterprise countries and learn from it. If you come to PNG and you believe in free private enterprise you will do well here along with the buai sellers, hard boiled eggs sellers, cigarette lighter salesmen, stolen cotton ear buds sellers, stolen second hand watch, stolen mobile phones, stolen anything else sellers, cigarette sellers, razors sellers, pens and pencils sellers, souvenir sellers, bilum bag sellers, woven grass plates and baskets sellers. You might even bring in a fish or a turtle you have caught and sell them in the market along with the other free private enterprise market traders of fresh fruit and vegetables and second hand clothes. But you had better hope you do not get sick and need to go to hospital. You had better hope you do not need to drive on the roads and keep your Mercedes in good condition. You had better hope you do not get pulled up by rascols. You had better hope your teenage daughter is home and stays home after school. Because Health, Law and Order, Transport - the things that the public sector is responsible for and which the minority in Australia support are like what PM Howard and the majority want to see in Australia.
