Lucire’s Sylvia Giles has just returned from an assignment in Melbourne, Victoria, and
blogged about the state of race relations in Australia. I trust Sylvia’s judgement (otherwise, why would she be writing for us?) and it was very sad to see that even regular
Australians from her random sample did not have good things to say about Prime Minister
Howard’s
record. And I had been quite supportive of the PM and of
Alexander Downer, especially when they tried to back up alleged terrorist and
al-Qaeda trainee
David Hicks (
in contrast to the laziness of our own Foreign Minister-outside-Cabinet, Winston Peters). Sadly,
Sylvia gives us a lot of food for thought and may provide an answer to the age-old (well, age and a half) question,
‘Where the bloody hell are you?’
