Hands up if you're sick of hearing about David Hicks' every move?
I thought for a bit of sanity last night, I'd watch the news on SBS. They're just as bad as the rest! They spent the first 10 minutes talking to their reporter, who'd "had a chance to speak to David Hicks' lawyer". And what was the burning question? "How was the flight?". Who gives a rats? And then "what did he say when the plane landed?". The first sensible question she asked was "what are his plans for the legal actions he is currently taking against the Australian government and others". Of course he has dropped them. Speculation followed on why. Hmm, perhaps it was part of the deal? No, it was because he felt that the Australian taxpayer, having footed the $500,000 bill for the transfer had paid enough. Stuff me, what was the in-flight meal like on a $500,000 flight?
Then, to add salt to the wound, the headline story on smh.com.au this morning is "Hicks Enjoys Australian Breakfast - David Hicks had a breakfast of cereal, toast and coffee, but ate alone, on his first morning in an Adelaide jail."
You have got to be kidding me. This is more irritating than when Nicole Kidman comes out here for a holiday.
