Is that true? Did Howard actually lose his parliment seat? We don't know yet - he's just behind in the vote so far, but there are a lot of postal votes, and statistically, these will probably put him over the line - postal votes are more likely to go to incumbents, and to conservatives. He has a good chance of getting enough to overhaul the lead.

I don't really see any negatives with his Mandarin ability;actually probably a positive. Although I do agree with your comment about doing the entire speech in it.
Regarding the troops...the Aussie SAS and NZ SAS will continue to rotate in and out according to the commitments on record. So its not like they are packing kit and moving out immediately.
