IDEALISM

FOUND 'ALIVE'

AFTER 10 YEAR

ORDEAL

The Australian sense of fair play has been found alive and well after being trapped underground for 10 years by the Liberal government.

Prime Minister John Howard described the discovery that Australians dislike being kept in the dark for long periods as "a triumph for Australian Mateship......whatever that is", pledging to make sure it would never happen again.

"While we give thanks for this very great day, let us not forget the large amount of uranium that is still trapped deep underground, in difficult circumstances, desperate to be dispatched to its new home in the People's Republic of China, in exchange for large amounts of money," he added.
