What’s the news in Oz?


(Mon 18/02/02)
1) The disgraceful revelations that the ruling Liberal party lied about the ‘children overboard’ incident last year. Way too complicated to go into now…Is this being reported in the UK now?
2) Australia’s ‘accidental’ and slightly surreal first ever gold medal in the Winter Olympics. (Briefly, skater hangs back in semi-final, skaters in front of him fall over, he qualifies for final. Final: Aussie hangs back again, has no chance, coming in a poor fifth, all four others fall over, gold for Oz. Referee has the power to order a restart, but doesn’t. Referee is revealed to be Australian. Quelle coincidence!)
