Condolences to the Aussies

BTW has Mark "L plate" latham blamed this on Australia and its freedom culture yet ?

[Piefloater]

The Australian Labor Party fully supports the Australian intervention in the Solomons and continues to do so. A bipartisan approach to any issue in Australia is very rare, but it does happen.

I haven't heard any comment from Latham yet (I could have missed something, but given the time of year, he may not have commented yet as well), but as Piefloater says, on this issue, the Labor party has been supportive of operations in the Solomon's. I doubt he's going to try and make political capital out of this. I expect any statement he makes will be dignified and supportive. Of course, with Latham, you can never be entirely sure.
