Why I didn't Get Invited To The 2020 Summit

Why I didn't Get Invited To The 2020 Summit

Ladies and Gentlemen, Citizens of Australia, thank you for the opportunity to address the historic conclave that is Australia's 2020 summit.

Upon this occasion delegates such as yourself and myself were invited to table proposals pertinent to improving Australia, in particular the Australian way of life, and the lot of the Australian people. In accepting the honour of making a recommendation I had a very hard look at Australia, it's environs, it's hopes, dreams and its place in the world, so that now I feel I can fully address one of the premier problems confronting Australian society.

Ladies and Gentlemen, why can Australia, as a nation, not find the droids it is looking for?
It is not that Australia's droid-searching apparatus is deficient. It is not that it's personnel are incapable, nor is our equipment faulty. I have thoroughly reviewed all aspects of the recent Tatooine-wide search for droids and cannot find a single report of incompetance.

And yet the evidence is incontrovertible: we failed to find the droids.
There are those in Australian society today, in particular the pundits in the media who doubt that our search was as thorough as it could have been. To those people I say this: if the door is locked, it is imperative that you move on to the next door. This is logical: if the door is locked for you, it would obviously have been locked for the droids you're looking for, and thus they cannot have passed through to the other side.

Additionally there are those who claim that our landspeeder roadblocks were simply staffed by incompetent, weak-minded fools. I have personally interviewed all staff involved and I can assure you that any droids seen  WERE NOT the droids we were looking for, that the citizens COULD go about their business, and that the officers acted in full cognizance when telling all traffic to move along.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I hereby charge this task to this august body, comprised as it is of some of the finest thinkers, sportsmen and entertainers in this fair land, please, please help us to find the droids we are looking for, and in doing so let us, as a nation, move on and find some measure, however small, of closure.

Thank you.
