One of my least favourite ex-premiers, having privatised our water
and electricity and brought the globals into Adelaide, is now telling
us that we need to change our ways.  He says that Americans live to
work while Australians work to live and has addressed Adelaide business (who put all their support behind Olsen's former opposition) with such choice phrases as

"In the U.S. you get a pat on the back ... in Australia someone says who did you rip-off to make that money?"

"If you drive a Mercedes in the USA you're a success - in Australia you're a wanker.

"In the USA if you are successful, you flaunt it, in Australia we are a little more self-effacing."

Olsen seem to thinks that our attitudes need changing.. 

Mr Olsen, in his capacity of infastructure minister, allowed a
post-deadline tender for the water supply to be won by a
Halliburton-led consortium, is Mr Downer's newest appointee as Consul-General to New York ,
where he'll reside in the same building as former Senator for SA and
Defence Minister (now our UN ambassador) Robert Hill, who has also made
signifigant contribution to SA life.  It's a hard life as Liberal
resigning under Howard.  Admittedly Olsen resigned after being accused
of lying to an inquiry over his misappropriation of public funds to
look after Motorola.  Whether he would have done so if the inquiry's
results weren't handed down on the eve of a federal election (a concept
that will  become a political factor when Cole discusses Downer in his
findings) is debatable.

Olsen's immediate (Lib) successor, and representative for the seat surrounding Victor Harbor (discussed in this post)
Dean Brown has just resigned (before the election)from political life,
and now Rob Kerin is on the ex-list, though still representing his
constituency, for now.  No crystal balls are required to forecast a
rosy private business future for these two, if like Olsen, they learn
to "think like Americans".... if they haven't already.
