This brings the total spent in this poverty stricken enclave to a paltry $130 million.
Sighs of relief have been exhaled across Queensland.
In particular, I pray the $1.5 million the Premier provided for stage 2 of the Walkabout Creek upgrade is sufficient for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation cancel it's airdrop into Waterworks Road. I understand that Bill Gates had suspended his fight against malaria in the third world until he was certain the people of Ashgrove were able to kayak freely on Walkabout Creek.
I don't deny that the Premiers announcement has me in frenzied anticipation of the $130 million that the LNP will now undoubtedly spend in Ippy.
I am nothing if not a genuine representative of Ippy serfs.
And I've come up with a fully cost-benefited funding wishlist for the $130 million.
- $30 million to upgrade the runway at Berry Manor to accept Airbus 380-800 aircraft.
- $100 million* as part-payment on a new Airbus 380-800 aircraft, upgrade to the Royal Regal Package.
I look forward to the Premier's phone call.
Xavier, a lovely chap from Airbus, said he will accept a cheque from the Queensland Treasurer Corporation.
Lord Lamington.
