Sol Trujillo, the CEO of Telstra for another month has left Australia already back into the safe loving arms of the Americans.
Supposedly Australians are racist, from Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, down to the lowliest bogan.
Trujillo has been the CEO of Telstra for a few years and has ran into the ground, service in regional areas has suffered whilst prices have gone up, yet he's walked away with 30 million dollars. When he announced his departure from the job, Kevin Rudd was quoted as saying "adios" (spanish for goodbye) Sol being of Mexican decent has seen this as a racial slur and in a recent BBC radio interview called the whole country "backward"

The week in dot points
*rumors about next weeks Australian Federal Budget were abundant - in particular the axing of the 30% Private health insurance rebate, superannuation contributions and paid paternity leave
*Malcolm Turnbull accused Kevin Rudd of being "hot headed" after a supposed incident over not having a hair dryer on his last trip to Afghanistan. Speaking of Turnbull, he announced rather pigishly that He and the Liberals will be ready whenever the Labor party are for the election. All getting rather childish in Canberra by the sounds of it, I expected him to be poking his tongue out after he said it as well.
*Death total from Swine Flu currently stands as being under 200, whilst the world wide hysteria kicks into overload and everyone uses alcohol hand sanitizer like Niles Crane from Frasier.
*Everyone learned that those in the Congo Army believe that sodomising Pygmies give supernatural powers
*In Australia the gender test for pregnant couples has been made available - which has struck fear into those hate filled right to lifers (who will gladly kill you if you ever mention the "A" word around them) saying that couples who find out the gender of their unborn child at 8 weeks will lead to more abortions.
*In Tasmania, it was found out that opposition leader Will Hodgman spent $13000 on his website - gee and I spend nothing for mine, he's really being ripped off

Random news
Ok looking at random news stories from random places, it appears that a girl in Switzerland received an extra surprise in her McDonalds Happy Meal when she discovered that there was a condom in it. Swiss branch of McDonalds is not commenting until the investigation has been formalised.
Now that's a meal that comes with a happy ending
In Australia, Kevin Rudd, the countries Prime Minister has lost 5 % of his popularity according to a Newspoll. The reduction is popularity is most probably due to the recession and how one off "stimulus" payment scheme has not been as sucessful as first hoped. This comes off the back of yesterdays announcement about the 12 month delay on bringing in a carbon scheme and it's rejection by the senate.
And finally, something that will all non smokers and enjoyers of a healthy lifestyle, In China it was discovered that officials in a central Chinese province have to smoke 230 000 tobacco cigarettes annually that are made in the region or face being fined
