The opposition leader Kevin Rudd has promised to investment in a national broadband network if his party wins the next election. In Australia we do have access to broadband but compared to the rest of the world we are lagging behind.

John Howard on the other hand seems to be happy to call 512kbs/sec as broadband.

Thanks Kevin. My vote goes to you.

Last night Saddam was denied what he has denied the people of Iraq, justice, a free trial in an international court.

As bad as he was, I don’t think anyone deserves the death penalty.

Not just that, I would have liked to see him tried for all the crimes he committed. So we could know where in the hell did he keep getting all those chemical weapons from?

BBC has a list of reactions.

Came across a post on the Sydney Morning Herald about John Howard meeting with Exclusive Brethren Christian sect members. It seems this group has a no-voting stance! Voting in Australia is compulsory, but this group(according to John) can BREAK THE LAW and get away with it. Double standards?

Few years ago when I was in University a friend of mine had been to Melbourne to pick up his dad from the airport. On the way back to Albury it seems some young men threw an egg on their car and screamed out TERORIST. Obviously my friend did not want to confront the young men and just drove off and when asked by his dad he answered “it is because you are wearing a turban, and people here do not know that we are Indians”. I came across this site today which reminded me of this story
