『Australia?Treasurer?Peter Costello said he had taken time out to deliver pizza advertising?leaflets?to?cover for his 14-year-old son. Costello,?heir?apparent to Prime Minister John Howard, confessed to?donning?a hat and overcoat?in a bid?to disguise himself while delivering the?flyers?for his son, who had neglected his after-school delivery job.
“Like a lot of kids he was out all weekend and he hadn’t done his rounds so I thought I’d better do it for him.” Costello told a current affair program. “I donned a hat and a big overcoat and went around in the early hours of the morning delivering leaflets for the local pizza joint,” Costello said.
The treasurer, who delivered his sixth federal budget?on Tuesday, said his son at least appeared to be an entrepreneur.” His gets paid A$3 an hour but I want you to know he didn’t share any of it with me… he’s obviously a businessman because he had someone working for him for free,” said Costello.?』

這種事情，私下做自己知道就好纳像。任何臺(tái)面下的私事或是芝麻大的事拿到臺(tái)面上來講都是炒作荆烈，這都是政客、明星慣用招式竟趾。好作品越來越少憔购，緋聞滿天飛。
