It seems our federal government has declined an invitation to Expo in South Korea in 2012. The reason it gave was "domestic priorities, including a return to a balanced budget through stringent fiscal discipline".
While this seems like a common sense response, it seems the government has forgotten all about the billions it spent hosting the G8/G20. So as I understand it, we can afford to spend a lot of money hosting world leaders to talk about stuff that could have easily been done via video conference, but we can't afford to showcase our culture at a World Expo that went out of their way to try to convince us to attend.
Well done.

I don't think anybody did. Most people I talk to say they didn't vote Conservative. Sounds like a conspiracy theory in the making to me.
