Possibly the ABC doesn't expect the Prime Minister to respond, but the
Australian 
public appear to be willing to push this item up the political hot
potato list so that if ignored, 
it looks like becoming the number one PR disaster on the PM's agenda
tomorrow.

Ms Gillard really has no choice but to affirm that all Australians have
the support of DFAT 
when they are travelling overseas and with that, the problem is moved.

Lets see, who's problem does it then become... Oh, Kevin's.

I guess this _will_ be interesting.

Love 15 Rudd (handicap for inherited personal problem of the PM).
