An interesting aspect of the planned APEC summit to be held in Sydney in 2007, apart from dashing the ambitions of Peter Costello for another five years or so, is that it's traditional for the participants to attend a photo session wearing the host nation's traditional apparel.
On the radio yesterday morning, the presenter asked the listeners for their suggestions of what the leaders should wear in Sydney.
Suggestions ranged from Akubra hats with Drizabones, to Speedo budgie smugglers. (Wouldn't George look great in those?)
But the best suggestion, in my opinion, was that the world leaders wear t-shirts emblazoned with the words "I went to Sydney APEC 2007 and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!"
Priceless.
Heh. I think the t-shirt has won me.
Maybe a shirt made from the Stars and Stripes would tell the world where we stand. But I love the T shirt idea too.
Probably a nice prickly wool shearers shirt would keep them awake and sell a bit of Aus product too.
the tshirt is great, but don't discount the speedos and the Akubra. With a pair of thongs and a stubbie in a beer cooler, that's an all over Aussie outfit.
