Al: Gee, feeling really hungry, wonder what they have on the menu.
Japanese PM: Well Albo let's talk economics
Al: Er, I'd rather just grab a bite to eat if you don't mind
Japanese PM: My time is important, I have a lot to get through - I hope you understand, I have a country to run
Al: Gee, well, I sort of understand, but I've only been in this job about a day or two, and I'm still trying to understand what it is I'm doing.
Japanese PM: Let's start with international trade
Al: Hold on, I know I have an economics degree, but it doesn't mean I understand the economy you know. I don't even know Australia's unemployment rate.
Japanese PM: So, can you find someone who is economically literate for me to dialogue with?
Al: Well, not really, I mean, we are the Labor party, you know. But how about I call up Penny Wong - she's our star player.
