Sad to see that young people today see the Howard government as financial saviors.
The resources boom has nothing to do with government financial policy, rather overseas demand for resources.

I think this is one of the best quotes I’ve read.
“The United States has learned through trial and error (and with the guidance of a remarkable Constitution) that allowing citizens to insult their leaders is an acceptable price to pay for a culture of free inquiry that holds no president, current or dead, above scrutiny. This allows Americans to learn from the mistakes of even their greatest presidents — Washington owned slaves, for example — while constantly questioning assumptions about how the country should be governed. “
Why I think its really good? Because acknowledging mistakes is the best way of growing but lets hope that these lessons and history are not forgotten because if they are these words then become very hollow. Let’s also hope politicians don’t play the context card with this and it becomes a representation of cynicism.

A Garuda flight GA200 Boeing 737 -400 has crashed in Yogyakarta today!
It was a charter and part of an Australian PR mission to Indonesia. Most where known media and embassy staff. Thankfully there where survivors although no-one has published any numbers as yet.
