Yes, though we'll wait and see whether Rudd is much better. He's made some good first moves (his first official act was finally ratifying Kyoto), but he won largely by copying Howard on most policies.
Economist Jeffrey Sachs estimates that malaria, which kills 2 million children annualy, could be contained for a mere US$3 Billion per year. Think about it. $100 Billion to kill 200,000 people in Iraq each year, or $3 Billion to save 2 million children in Africa each year. Hmmmm.

well ratifying Kyoto looks pretty damn good from our perspective. I mean it sort of makes you look like less of a loser idiot nation.
I mean not that oz looks like that. I'm just thinking about what a loser idiot nation the U.S. looks like right now on *so* many fronts. Alas.
