The Lucky Country

Premier Hu Jintao And Others in Australia for APEC Summit
Some president or something or whatever they have over there from one of those Northern Hemisphere countries arrived in Sydney at 10 p.m this evening to participate in an APEC meeting with 20 other world leaders, on the same day that Chinese President Hu Jintao set down 300 kilometres away in Canberra for a little light pre-summit diplomacy.

The ALP has promising to restore the power of trade unions by forcing Australian workers to be signatory to union-negotiated 'Awards'.

Several US Citizens Slightly Hurt
Several citizens of the United States have been slightly hurt today in a devastating accident in Delaware, Maine. Others who witnessed the horrific disaster that has become headline news across the world say they were 'shocked', 'surprised', and 'worried', when a shopping trolley filled with Oreos, Twinkies, and other high-fat, sugary name-brand products rolled past aisle 6 towards the checkouts. The trolley continued on its path of destruction, colliding with a man in his forties, a mother of 51 and her 22-year-old son.

Neckfat Forces Retirement of White House Ventriloquist Karl Rove
In the US Bush Administration policy adviser and campaign manager Karl Rove has announced his resignation. Rove is credited with a kind of Machivellian talent for winning elections, and has been applauded by some for his role as puppet-master to President George W. Bush's appallingly unconvincing but twice-elected puppet.
