Goodnight from Sydney!

That's my lot for today - except to leave you with this fascinating bit of local news.

The Office of National Assessments (a spy agency) spent $4200 on 210 massages for almost 20 staff a month last year. The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet paid $500 on massages for staff during health week, and the Australian Public Service Commission spent almost $5000.

The Migration Review Tribunal and the Refugee Review Tribunal, were a bit meaner and spent only $1998.

If they spend all that money on massages - how come the Australian public service always rub me up the wrong way!

My signing off picture tonight is a view of King Street Wharf in Sydney.

Wherever you may be - be safe!
