THE FLAG DEBACLE SEEMS PRETTY EXPENSIVE (Letter published in Dom Post, Dec 23)

We’ve been told the $26m we coughed up to fund the flag debacle  - not to mention many millions more if we persist - is neither here nor there. A bagatelle. And I can see that to a Prime Minister and Cabinet who’ve just pocketed thousands more pay, it would seem like small beer. 

But a year’s supply of 33 types of fruit and veg for 110,000 school pupils (More kids to get free fruit in schools, Dec 21) will cost just $7.8m. To those kids and their parents the flag debate must seem pretty expensive.
