In exciting news for wonks and fans of travelling side-shows everywhere, Federal Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull recently announced the long-awaited return of the Coalition’s Debt Truck — the billboard on wheels that travels around the countryside broadcasting Australia’s national debt figure.
This morning, @TurnbullMalcolm put the call-out on Twitter for suggestions of where to send the journeying jalopy:
We know Crikey readers are always eager to help a politician in need, so we’re collecting ideas here for the embattled leader.

UPDATE: AND THE WINNER IS…
Matthew Rodd, who said: “I’m moving house shortly. Do you think I could borrow it?”
Congrats Matthew, if you can get in touch we’ll send you some nifty prizes — First Dog has included your answer in today’s cartoon, which is a prize in itself.
Kudos to skink for our other favourite entry, which didn’t answer the question but we thought deserved a special mention:
John Grant Motors and exchange it for a ute.
Sell it on ebay and donate the proceeds to the national debt – that would demonstrate a practical step towards the problem and would make Sarah Palin proud.
All the towns listed in the “I’ve been everywhere” song.
Clearly, it’s needed in the Solomon Islands.
The tiny island of Vangunu to be more specific.
I believe they need a logging truck.
Have BHP bury it in one of their mines http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/07/09/2620966.htm
