More like laughing at you.
Possibly because we protest at the election box, not by running around like a pack of f***ing idiots as I presume you would be used too.
Unfortunately our Westminster form of government only gives us 2 choices, and when the alternative is worse than the existing, what do you do!
And don't forget, the people of Australia didn't elect Howard as PM - that offence was committed by the party itself.
So once again, you are blaming the majority of Australians for something they didn't do, and have little control over.
Who is trying to hide the facts - the Cole enquiry has been set in motion and will investigate the incident.
What more do you want?
Candidates for the position of American ambbuttador to Australia have turned down the job because of the scrutiny involved in the process of confirmation. I understand the US is still looking for a suitable candidate.
Dr Rice cancelled a visit to attend the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate and security talks with Japan and Australia because of concern over the health of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
I'm surprised you didn't know that!
It just shows the US is quite happy with Australia going it alone - content that any outcome made by Oz will be in the interest of both the US and Australia.
I'd call that an expression of trust by the US in Australia.
