SUSIE - OT Digest Number 1772

[Guest guest]

Hi again Susie,

 

Many thanks for this - I have already sent in my application to join. I

love living in Holland but it seems incredibly remote from Australia and I

hardly ever hear any mention of Australia here. Even the BBC (we can get

BBC radio and TV here) doesn't mention Oz too often. I will be great to

have a sort of lifeline to keep up to date with Australian news. My

daughter sent me an e-mail recently mentioning the 'Deputy Prime Minister'

and I realised with shock that I had absolutely no idea of who currently

holds that position. I have been in Holland since 1998 and my contact with

Australian current affairs is so minimal that it is bordering on

non-existent.

 

Thanks again for your help.

 

Cheers from Marie
