The horse show will run through Friday. The Premier has a lunch meeting with Prince Khaled today before departing for the United States on Friday.

The Premier and his wife should pay their own way to attend this sort of thing. It's insulting enough that they do it at all, while everyone else is on an austerity budget. I wonder if we're paying for this out of taxpayer's money? Get used to it. There will be plenty of 'farewell tours' leading up to October.
