#1 The morning news here in Oz was full of people saying the government should evacuate Australian nationals in Lebanon and now the Brits are sending warships.

This is nuts. Unless you live next door to a Hezbollah base (and in which case you should move), the risk is minimal. You will be at more risk being evacuated, given the anti-ship missiles flying and trigger happy terrorists who are likely to open up on helicopters.
