Australia boycotts Mugabe Stupid,Ridiculous, Speech

by Aussie Dasher

AUSTRALIA was the only country whose representative to a UN meeting boycotted a"disgraceful" speech by Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said today. Mr Mugabe used the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) anniversary meeting in Rome overnight to launch a withering denunciation of US President George W Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

The Zimbabwe President described them as "the two unholy men of our millennium",comparing them with Hitler and Mussolini. Mr Downer today said Australia's representative at the meeting had walked out prior to the speech. "I thought his speech was absolutely disgraceful," the Foreign Minister said on ABC radio. "Australia, I am proud to say, was the only country whose representative walked out before President Mugabe's speech.

My perspective

Mugabe = Pinhead

Australia = Friend

Opposition to Mugabe should be seen as being pro-humanity, irrespective of race or colour.
