ST05 : Canberra Roundup



Sources at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade are playing down speculation as to the health of Indonesian President Simoni.

One source, who asked not to be named, confirmed that the last direct communications between the Indonesian President and Prime Minister Brain had been several days ago, with the Indonesian President reportedly engaging in "domestic travel" since then.

The DFAT warning against travel to Indonesia has not as yet been lifted, and it has been officially stated that it will remain in place until things "calm down" and "armed militia no longer besiege the Presidential Palace.", a situation viewed with "great concern".

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
