International:

Perhaps the comment that captured the moment best was that made by Liberal MP Bronwyn Bishop who said: "If it costs that much to maintain the Governor General imagine how much it will cost to support a President if Australia was to become a Republic.

Political:

The Federal Pollies must be having a bit of a siesta at the moment - not much on the go, although State Labor leader and Premier Goss is getting a bit of a serve for hiding behind the skirts of his female MPs!

Business:

News Limited's Pay TV, FOXTEL is to be fomally launched tomorrow. Today's papers are filled with full page colour advertisments promoting the new service.

Sport:

Horse trainer Lee Freedman predicts that his Caulfield Cup winner, Doriemus, could be burdened with a 3kg penalty but still beat international stayer, Double Trigger, in next month's Melbourne Cup event.

Social:

Thanks also to my staff who, like me, were pretty exhausted by close of bus last night.
