Reference . British trade envoy , Tony Abbott , launched himself into his new role by offering advice to the pommies regarding their border protection .
That's the way Tony , don't start talking about trade straight away , you can move on to that later . It is probably wise to focus on something other than trade initially , since somebody might bring up the fact that you cost the Australian economy 6 billion quid in lost tariffs and forced the closure of one or two major manufacturing industries .
The numbers cruncher here at the Sky Reply , young Monte , has done the hard work for you regarding the suggestion that the pommies follow your example with border protection .
Here down under , the cost of paying for offshore detention centers has run to about 573,000 aussie quid per detainee per year . Not bad considering you paid about 50 million to find four lucky refugees safe haven in Cambodia . Monte reckons that since the pommes have about a million illegal residents , following your advice would cost the British economy around 300,000,000,000 British pounds per year . That seems like a lot at first glance , but almost half the money could be recouped simply by cancelling the entire NHS . Obviously that's only a start , but most of the the remainder could be found by cancelling all the old age pensions . I reckon the average voter in Old Blighty would see the value in your approach .
If there is still some reluctance to follow your advice , you could remind the pommies that you are uniquely placed to reap huge profits for them in their trade deals with the suckers back home Australia .
Rule Britannia Tony ! Your comrade , Ken
