Word would get back to the Prime Minister pretty quickly from the Ambassador to Sweden about what happened at Stockholm Airport. “That’s a shame.” He would reply. Connor

The Attorney-General and her delegation would board back onto the aircraft. Once inside the aircraft and the door was shut she would say to her advisors. "Well that was a big fucking waste of my time, but that was kind of almost expected. Should've wagered on it, frankly. Get us home." The...

"Is that all?" Connor

"And what about the status of the Heard and McDonald Islands? I think we need to discuss that and treat it as a seperate matter as that was in fact sovereign Australian territory before being stripped of us in the Antarctic Resolution. We have no plans to conduct high-intensity research there...

"I don't have those estimates with me, your honour. If I was to predict, somewhere in the 10s of millions, perhaps 3-5 months to construct." Connor

"Yes runways will need to be built to allow aircraft to come in, including the Airbus A319 operated by the Australian Antarctic Division and RAAF aircraft operating as the Antarctic Flight. They will maintain day-to-day logistics, well... week-to-week, these things do not need to be daily. The...

"Winter we're looking at 60 scientists, flexing up to 400 in the summer." The pilots would switch frequencies to ATC. "Why was a pushback authorised? We didn't request this. And why didn't you inform us?" Connor

"Obviously infrastructure would need to be built to house the scientists. An environmental impact assessment will be done prior to construction but I don't expect there to be many issues with the construction, it would be chosen in appropriate locations to minimise the impacts on the...

"Mainly focusing on the coastline, it is very hard to operate inland due to the harsh conditions, but we are keen to establish a presence at the South Pole." Connor Meanwhile at the airport, the pilots would be sitting in the cockpit playing cards. Suddenly the plane would begin to move...

"Thank you very much Jade, I'm glad we could clear that up. I want to bring this conversation back to Sweden. Now that the Middle East has died down and we are yet to see any conflict, our attention is being drawn back to the Southern Hemisphere. At the moment, our Attorney-General is in...

"Obviously a lot of the research would be land based, it is a bit hard to conduct research on water, you would need very sophisticated and large vessels in order to do that and we would only know so much. There's geology on the Antarctic continent to be researched, land-based animals such as...

The Attorney-General would read out the parts of the transcript. "I am unaware of any contact that has been made with the United Kingdom or Argentina. Antarctica is a large continent and obviously we would like to see research conducted throughout, obviously our primary focus is on the side of...

"That is not true your honour, I gave you an extensive answer as to why we're not interested in researching in British or Argentinian territory, not because we simply didn't want it. Again, I don't know what you want from me to justify why we should be given land on the continent. You can ask...

"I have answered that question twice already, your honour, I am not repeating myself again. If that answer is not sufficient for you and doesn't make sense, then you would need to be more specific. If my job here is to not influence your decision then what is it? You've already said previously...

"I believe I am conducting myself in the appropriate manner. No demands, no threats, no accusations. If you want me to justify the need for the transfer of the territory, ask me the quesitons on the matters you want to know about. We have made our position clear. You have made this personal in...

"I think I have given sufficient reasoning why we have no interest to conduct research on that side of Antarctica, which is very far away from Australia. I am only the Attorney-General, I don't make contact with foreign nations about these matters, you will have to ask the Foreign Minister or...
