Whilst on one of his numerous overseas jaunts, Prime Minister John Howard re-affirmed our commitment in Iraq by announcing that "we" were willing to put more of our young military in harm's way in order to further the American cause. I just love the way he speaks for us, don't you?
The federal government announced today that they won't be offering retrospective compensation to those members of the military who took part in the testing of nuclear weapons at Maralinga in the 1950's. They say that there is no evidence to support the correlation of increased incidences of cancer in the participants to the actual tests. This despite it being common knowledge that over exposure to radiation causes cancer and other nasty side effects.
In the meantime, however, Little Johnny announced that he was "diasappointed" that he never received an invitation to the wedding of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban last Sunday. Has this man become so arrogant that he believes he should automatically receive an invite to celebrity events/occasions, simply as a matter of course?
Still, I guess it's good to see where our peerless leader's prioroties lie.
