Musicians and terrorists
Australian political scene hasn't seen this much amusement for quite some time, as the Labor Opposition Leader Mark Latham attempts to "parachute" Peter Garrett, the ex-lead singer of the protest band Midnight Oil, into a safe Labor seat in Sydney.
Tim Blair's got the round-up of news and views, and Niner Charlie says that if you thought that Mark Latham is bad for the Australia-US alliance, just remember some of Peter Garrett's kooky ideas.
In other local news, Gnu Hunter discovers that one of our two Aussie detainees at Guantanamo Bay had been assaulted - alas, back in 2001, and by his fellow alleged jihadi on a Sydney street. It's a farce, but one with some dangerous implications.
