3. A smart move.
A lot of Rudd's diplomacy on climate change will revolve around China.

2. Wow. Peter Garrett? Very, very cool. A man who concerned both with the environment
and Australia's workers.

I think I'm liking what just happened in Australia a LOT! How soon until our MSM goes all Fisher & Paykel on him?

I'm glad the tide is turning in Australia. Now, how about here?
