These cables place John Howard at the very heart of our very worst national scandal. We believe that they are culpably negligent and we accuse them of turning a blind eye and these cables prove conclusively that that is exactly what they did.

We'll have a decent debate in the Labor Party on the mines policy.

It increases the pressure for Howard to appear.

If you actually had a coast guard, you would have effective enforcement in our northern waters. Good fences make good neighbors. As far as maritime issues are concerned, a good fence is a coast guard.

Australian soldiers were sent to fight in Iraq. The Howard government's neglect and turning of a blind eye meant that we funded their enemies.

A deliberate blind eye has been turned here and culpable neglect is what the prime minister here is guilty of. He cannot wash his hands like Pontius Pilate and say it was somebody else's responsibility.

What any country now knows is that they've got a prime minister they can sit on, and that he will, if they've got some part of Australian law that they object to, there's a very good chance that when they sit on the prime minister, they will get a result.

And no matter what it says, it can only have a limited effect on Iraqi political outcomes. Ultimately, Iraqis will have to do the deals.

[While I will admit to a personal bias in Beazley's favor -- he has been a friend for more than three decades -- the fact is that his comments seized the attention of all the Americans in the room. Here was someone willing to lay out an alternative strategy aimed at freeing the United States from an all-consuming mess in a way that could leave its influence intact.] You have to win, you know, ... You cannot lose the war on terror.

This is John Howard's Australia,

We actually have good resources there, of people with consular skills and logistic skills,
