Bush loses another major ally: Australian Prime Minister defeated in elections

For Australia, Iraq ranks VERY low on the public conscience. I don't think it was even brought up in the 6-week election campaign. But it had been made known of each parties intentions previously. The new prime minister, Kevin Rudd: ABC News Apparently Kevin Rudd has a prodigious...

Bush loses another major ally: Australian Prime Minister defeated in elections

It was a comprehensive win by the Australian Labor Party. They campaigned hard on industrial relations policy, where 2 years ago John Howard introduced a US style system, removing unfair dismissal laws. It came back very hard to bite him, and in the end it looks like even he will lose his...

I'll kiss anyone for a minute anywhere they like if they can solve this puzzle (that's if you travel to me :P ). It isn't homework (I'm 23, working), a friend gave it to me for a bit of fun but it's turned into an annoyance.

When is the AMD64 based Windows XP due??

I'm getting an Athlon64 3000+ shortly and would love to run the new OS with it. Any word on its release? Or shall I be cynical and wonder if Intel is 'helping' out with it? :P It's been a long time coming, I mean, they've had about 2 years now...

Is Canada a republic?

At the moment, it's as Aquaman says, 'appointed by the PM to represent the Queen' But answering the above question, well that is the sticking point to us becoming a republic. RE my first post; there are quite a few possibilities. We had a referendum defeated because of it. That referendum put...

Is Canada a republic?

No, we'd like to keep our figure-head apart from the political system. The G-G opened the Sydney Olympics, and opens a lot of other things like it. Basically, the position is for ceremonial purposes. The G-G once sacked our PM in the 1970's, so it has played a political role. So the position has...

Is Canada a republic?

Our system seems very effective, so we don't wont to tinker with it too much. The G-G is effectively what will become our President once we break ties with the Queen. It's pretty complicated and although I understand it well enough to know what is going on, it would take too long for me to...

Is Canada a republic?

Well we have a PM, a Governor-General AND the Queen. Only one of them really does any work, while the G-G does the ceremonial work. If we break away from Britain totally, we would then call our G-G a President. But it will be nothing like the US President. It will have no say over the day to...

Is Canada a republic?

Hey Canadians, what is your political structure? I mostly live in Australia (Australian citizen), so I'm most atuned to it's structure. As you may know, we've been trying to break all political ties with Britain. About 3/4 of the population want to become a republic, but we're stuck on how it...

What a shocking debacle. Everything reds sucks.

Well maybe he shouldn't have been selling dodgy produce in the first place. e.g. What would you do with a faulty fan you just bought? Just say "oh well, my problem."
