That pesky security

Former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating commenting on Sydney residents who are complaining about the inconvenience some will suffer as a result of Australia hosting this year’s APEC summit:

Grow up. Count yourselves lucky. Here you have leaders representing 60 per cent of the world GDP, a massive power grouping, coming to your city to discuss world affairs, and we think it’s a bother?

What’s really smart is that they made Friday a stat holiday for everyone who works in the city in order to alleviate the bulk of the inconvenience that would have otherwise been caused to people dealing with disruption to their commutes that day. Sweet! What more could you ask for?
