Reminding complainants about World Youth Day's cost to the taxpayer that every year Australians waste hundreds of millions of precious dollars on porn, inane magazines, innumerable mobile phone calls and poisonous ciggies. At the same time, a big slice of our tax money is spent on participating in a non-winnable war in Afghanistan, the country whose regime eliminates anyone daring to convert from Islam to Christianity. Besides, millions of tax dollars are spent on subsidising the killing of tens of thousands of our unborn, while during pre-election periods state and federal governments spend many millions of our tax dollars on wasteful advertising.
Apart from the obvious material benefits that WYD will bring to NSW, there will be massive opportunities to build bridges of friendship between citizens of many countries. Also, the event provides an opportunity for ordinary Australians to do something for others: many Sydneysiders will provide a roof over pilgrims' heads and provide them with free breakfasts.
What will the constant whingers be doing – apart from more whingeing, of course – before World Youth Day takes off?
