I agree, this is a travesty!

The Defence Force spent almost $35,000 on public relations advice - including news media training - for SAS soldier Willie Apiata to maximise coverage of him receiving the Victoria Cross, new figures reveal.

 Is that all? Get serious. the government will spend (aka piss away) half a mill on making parents feel good about themselves.

Seriously, 35K? Whats your fucking problem? Micky Sullens team just blew 4.3 bill. He screwed up on Kyoto by a couple of hundred mill in the wrong direction and you’re getting pissy about a man who won the VC?

Get over it.
