Costello's remarks have attracted widespread support in Australia. The "Sydney Morning Herald" is perhaps the most left-leaning newspaper in the country and here 76% of readers approved Costello's remarks.
Thanks for the info re Costello's support in Oz.
My friend from Brisbane e-mailed me the "Australian" article this morning. We chat every day and she occasionally tells me about domestic developments in Australia. Interestingly, we once discussed the SMH very briefly. I read some really bizarre article of theirs and asked her about the SMH.
This is what she told me:
"Fairfax press. They also run Australian Financial Review.
Bedfellows of the govt-owned ABC. Main opponent is Murdoch- The Oz..."
Fascinating country. Most of us Yanks were never told about the Pensacola convoy, or about other important chapters in Australia's post-1941 history. Costello's remarks certainly deserve support.
