The Null Device

Unprecedented interference

US ambassador criticises federal Labor opposition for its skeptical stance on Bush's Iraq war; opposition leader Simon Crean rejects the criticism as unprecedented interference in Australian politics. Unprecedented? He seems to have forgotten the Whitlam dismissal, Australia's own bloodless coup against an inconveniently left-wing regime; either that or he's sticking to the polite fiction that there was no US encouragement of it and the G-G acted alone (much as Oswald did, I suppose).
