Is Luxembourg more Toowoomba or more Ouagadougou?

Australia is a candidate for the UN Security Council. But there is also Luxembourg, same unbridled ambition. Down Under they are besides themselves and above all, all over us.

Is Australia trailing Luxembourg? Don't get so nervous about it that you call us names!

They call us Toowoomba? Some guy called us Ouagadougou three months ago. That cost him a vote or two. Psst! I support Australia. For me, you can have it! Good luck.

Excerpt from an article in the Sydney Morning Herald: Vote Count: Australia's Security Council

"Electing Luxembourg would be the equivalent of asking Toowoomba town council to manage international peace and security. It’s just not serious. That argument alone should be enough to carry Australia through the vote."
