Howard’s Popularity Soars

Political trends in Australia mirror those in the U.S. and Great Britain, as Prime Minister John Howard has risen in the polls since the beginning of the war. The Associated Press headlines: “Popularity of Australian prime minister soars following start of Iraq war.”
“Antiwar” protests in Australia have turned nasty, as “hundreds of anti-war protesters tried to storm Australia’s parliament, demanding the withdrawal of Australian troops fighting in Iraq.”
On a less violent note, Australian women continued to display a penchant for nudity as 35 Tasmanian women participated in a “Disrobe For Disarmament” rally in 41-degree temperatures.
