Nervous Americans consider moving to Australia WASHINGTON - It appears Americans increasingly want to move Down Under for some longed-for peace and safety. straitstimes.asia1.com.sg Inquiries about migrating to Australia have leapt by more than 50 per cent since the terrorist strikes in New York and Washington on Sept 11, The Age newspaper reported yesterday. Advertisement It quoted an Australian embassy spokesman as saying the applicants were yearning for a quiet, terror-free life. 'They say, 'How can I get there quickly?' or 'I want to go where it is safe',' she said. Americans wanting to migrate to Australia must buy a migration booklet for US$10 (S$18), which includes an application form. During the 30-day period before Sept 11, the embassy sold 117 booklets. In the succeeding 30-day period, 186 were sold. The Age reported a similar flood of inquiries at the Australian consulate in Los Angeles, where the number of booklets sold went up from 59 in the month before the terrorist strikes to 81 the next month. The booklets can also be bought on the Internet, and demand for that option had also risen, the official said. There was also a 'marked increase' in telephone inquiries from people wanting to apply for permanent residency, almost all linking their desire to move to Australia to the US terrorist attacks and related incidents.

You wrote about Rubicon Minerals at one time. Do you still follow it? Any opinions? I read they've been drilling at Red Lake (Slate Bay Gold Target)as part of their Rubicon-Anglo-Gold JV and announced they filed to be listed in the US. On the JV with Anglo-gold and the US listing I decided to pick up some shares.

US media made mistakes: Dan Rather timesofindia.com NEW YORK: Veteran CBS news anchor Dan Rather has said the US media should have done more to explain the threats facing the US leading to the terrorist attacks on September 11. "I think all of us could have done better reporting on international affairs," Rather said, when asked if the US media had failed to explain to its citizens that many people in the world hated Americans. "I think they could have done better about reporting, certainly more... On the warnings that were given by any number of people in and around our own government going back as far as the late 1980s," he said. "I do not exempt myself in this criticism, nor do I exempt CBS news," said Rather, who also serves as managing editor of CBS Evening News. Rather, one of the most recognisable faces in American television journalism, spoke to newspersons after one of his assistants contracted skin anthrax. He said the media acknowledged past mistakes after the September 11 attacks. "We are now aware of some of our shortcomings and I think we will now do better in reporting these areas," he said. Rather, 69, has worked for CBS since the early 1950s, working in high-profile positions, including White House correspondent and presenter of the flagship 60 Minutes programme, as well as his current position, anchoring the network's weekday evening national news. He has won five Emmy awards. ( AFP ) ============================================================ counterpunch.org
