1. I have been trying to get information on his itinerary

but it seems to be hush hush. I wanted to take part in a demon station but I live a long way from Sydney and Canberra and would need definite times. As it is, I'll be going to Sydney to parliament house on Friday, so if I'm aware of a protest going on then, I'll be there with bells on.

Maybe, he might like to shed some light on the situation as to why he is still walking around as a free man, considering he is the biggest war criminal in modern times, and David Hicks is still left to languish in solitary confinement, shackled to floor, in Guantanamo Bay for over 5 years and has not been found guilty of any crime.

Aussie Leftie if you're in Syd on Fri there's a demo at the Shagri-La Hotel where Cheney is set to give a talk (how to win contracts and influence people??)

4. He's probably coming to collect his cheque. Halliburton recently

completed the railway to Darwin.

5. He doesn't arrive until Thursday.

I'm sure he'll get a warm welcome. Not.

Perhaps he'll invite Howard to go hunting.
