Australia in the British press. Now, when I started this train I was thinking to find info about 'Dumb and Dumber' the two Australians who botched a robbery in The States because they wore nametags to the event. I figured this for each time I click on the Asia-Pacific section at the BBC's main site, I'm inundated with news about China and North Korea. Any waves Australia usually breaks can often appear quite trivial.
I was slightly vindicated by the fluff piece 'Australian crushed in rubbish lorry', no fluff for the man involved, but not exactly groundbreaking news. Straight to telemovie that one. I should note that this appears on the news front page.
Then, perhaps no surprise is a piece about our new terror laws. These laws follow those already in place in the US and UK, should be no surprise, but their implementation will bear close watching.
The final piece, besides the one about the pom killed by an Australian crocodile, covered Bob Hawke's suggestion that Australia should house the world's nuclear waste. Now, this one I want someone to explain to me, because this little pig can't comprehend how this idea is anything other than ludicrous, and a far cry from Tony Abbott.s 'visionary.'
Please explain.
