SOLOMON ISLANDS: Australian troops prop up corrupt regime
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2006/665/665p28.htm>

Two days after several thousand rioters looted and burned down shops,
hotels and other buildings in the Solomon Islands capital of Honiara on
April 18, Australian PM John Howard dispatched 110 troops and 80 police
officers to join the 250 police officers and 120 government `advisers'
making up the Australian-led Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon
Islands. [Full article]

Howard aims to banish all `boat people'

Mohammad Sagar, 29, and Muhammad Faisal, 26, are Iraqis who have been
granted refugee status but remain stranded on Nauru after arriving there
four-and-a-half years ago. The Australian government won't take them
after ASIO deemed them a security threat. This will soon be the fate of
any asylum seeker who tries to reach Australian shores, if legislation
proposed by PM John Howard is passed when parliament resumes sitting on
May 9. [Full article]
