I think any government which uses it's military facilities to help it re-win government is news any time and any place. The fact it involved electronic surveilannce is what makes it particularly interesting in this forum. Anyway Australia might be a small country, but strategically we are very important. We are also representative of the mind set of many western nations and how the people of Australia react to this news is reflective of how the world is thinking on a larger scale.
