Alert the world press!!! A possible corrupt senior civil servant. That must be a world first.

Edit - At least 1 Canadian knows who is the OZ PM is, and 1 "Mouse" from "Cheese" has an idea.

Edit 2 - Have a good weekend all...

Warlord Harold Keke and 2 of his senor followers have surrendered to Australian troops and are now in custody aboard an Asutralia navy vessel.

Deccan, How does the SI people feel?

Whoa, you sure get news fast. I first heard of Harold Keke's capture Last night at dinner, but nobody was sure if it was true or not. There was a lot of helicopter activity but people were saying that they were headed to Choiseul Province.

Probably most of the S.I. locals want Keke's blood. Yesterday's newspaper's headline was a prosecutor asking for Parliament to allow death sentences so it could be used on Keke. Most people around here are pretty riled up about Keke's recent admission that he'd killed the Melanesian Brotherhood emissaries that went sent to him.

The Australian forces were not going to sit quietly on news like that for very long.

The next move they want to do is clean up the SI Law Enforcements. They keep showing the same footage of a shackled man being held by 2 officers and hit a couple of time by another. The detanee does attempt to hit the office back however.
