#3 Sustaining Australiaâs high standing and strong alliance with the United States is a key priority ....

Apparently the entire world doesn't hate us. Not that it would really matter anyway.

#4 Good on ya, Howard. Kick ass at home - and take no ~~lefty~~ prisoners whipping your economic engine back into shape and reforming your anti-terror capabilities. Awesome Aussies - has a nice ring to it, heh.

#5 Howardâs re-election campaign was marred by a terror bombing of Australiaâs embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia. No Australians were killed, but nine Indonesians died in the explosion, which was regarded as the first terror attack directly aimed at an Australian target.

Funny, I thought the nightclub bombing in Bali was the "first" attack on the Aussies. As I recall, some 100+ Aussie travellers were killed in the bombing. After reading, I guess it's technically correct, as it was the first AUSTRALIAN target, but does a target have to be a country's property for the jihadis to make a point toward a certain country???? I think not.
