G'day World - Wed Aug 24

This is getting a bit repetitive but another glorious Sydney morning.

I have posted the last of the morning articles but of course, more will follow through the afternoon and evening.

Foreign Minister Alexander Downer will lay it on the line by telling Papua New Guinea, clamp down on corruption or no more aid will be coming your way.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that $1billion under the Enhanced Co-operation Program is being wasted because of PNG's failure to address corruption and law and order issues.

The same newspaper has some advice for females who are peed off with Indian telemarketers assuming they are someone's wife, and addressing them as "Mrs."

Simply say, "What? He never told me he had a wife."

Wherever you may be - be safe.
