"i'm talking about symbolic moments" ... good one.. lets forget about the masses of LEGAL and successful migration program and discuss symbolic moments?!? the interviewer's a dope.

[SylvieKloot]

The interviewing is among the very best, and is highly awarded and respected globally.

Australia, and its inhabitants are NOT well respected globally. A large portion of blame falls to John Howard.

@SylvieKloot I'm an Aussie. I've travelled around the world and I have recieved nothing but warm vibes from many people of many countries. Stop being so mopey.

[SSBull900]

Obviously this interviewer, however attributed he may be, is taking a quite obvious bias in his questioning. I admire Howard for how he handled it and his responses. Sure, no politician can have a perfect track record, but most of the things Howard did put Australia into the position it is today and that is well above any European or N.A country. His immigration views were sound and the Australian republic supported him. Sure, you can say we were wrong or racist, but our sovereignty allows us.

Ahh deerr Howard, it was the people on the boat who were uniquely placed to know what was going on, you idiot. It's when you talk over others (and don't think we can't recognise your tactic of saying 'no no no no no no' to silence the interviewer) these occasions reveal your dishonesty.

@boniwee we didn't support him as such its just at the time of the 2001 and 2004 elections we had Afghanistan (very rarely do countries change Government during war) and the children overboard scandal (which was a lie and a crime).

@SylvieKloot That is absolute bollocks. This is the same interviewer (his name's stephen sackur) who said that 'muslims in the netherlands are as dutch as any dutchman'. Now I'm no muslim hater, nor am I a racist, but anyone who thinks that muslims in the netherlands are well integrated into dutch society is a fucking retard. I'm not saying all the interviews that stephen has done are bad, but he does reveal himself to be oblivious and slightly ignorant. P.S. Everyone loves Australians.

Why is he on about Kyoto? It hasn't eventuated to anything near what was expected of it. A U.N. official even said in a TIME magazine issue that Kyoto has not made a real difference, rather "raising awareness". I think we were all aware of the issue anyway. I can't believe people voted for Rudd because he promised to ratify Kyoto. The protocol hasn't done any good and neither has Rudd!

[boniwee]

I am suprised that Australia support Howard for so long! Shame on us! I love how he talks over the top of the interviewer! so funny!
