This week, the dynamic duo have sat down at their conference table in the Fletcher Jones Silver Ball for one of their semi-regular Threat Matrix meetings.

"Well," The Colonel started, "I hope you've got something good for today's meeting because I've got nothing. I've been too busy organising a parade in Warrnambool for when Obama comes to town."

"Actually, Colonel, I do," The Doctor replied. "We have an issue that is 'one of the most contentious decisions in the city's recent history'."

"Really? I'm all ears."

"It's about the saleyards...."

"Not interested. Don't care. Next!"

"What?" The Doctor asked incredulously.

"The people of Warrnambool don't care about where the saleyards are. So long as cattle aren't doing a dump in their backyard, it doesn't matter."

"But the location of the saleyards has major ramifications for the region and the people of Warrnambool," The Doctor said.

"Why should we care about where cows are bought and sold? Why don't people just get their beef needs from McDonalds like I do?"

"Well, if they move the saleyards out of Warrnambool, the council could make $9 million from the sale of the land to pour back into the community."

"Ooh, $9 million would go a long way towards my plans to build the biggest statue of Jonathon Brown in the southern hemisphere," The Colonel mused. "It will be like Graceland for footyheads."

The Doctor stroked his chin. "But on the other hand, if they relocate the saleyards, Warrnambool's businesses would lose out on the weekly income poured into them by farmers each market day."

"Ooh, that's a good point. Farmers' money is just as important as normal people's money. And we don't want farmers going to other towns to by their gumboots, salt licks and cow nipple lubrication."

The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "Although, by making the saleyards land available for residential purposes, we could build 600 houses there and inject $165 million into the building sector."

"Hmm... the building sector is one of my favourite sectors...," The Colonel nodded.

"But moving the saleyards would inconvenience a large part of our farming community and lessen Warrnambool's standing as a regional centre."

"That's another good point," The Colonel said. He thought for a moment then clapped his hands. "Well, that settles it. I'm completely, 100 per cent and unanimously undecided."
