Bligh and mighty

Article Abstract:

The chairman of the Australian Republican Movement, Malcolm Bligh Turnbull, found himself disliked by monarchists and republicans at the constitutional convention. Monarchists described him as an elitist, arrogant, and overbearing. Republicans thought of him as someone who is sleek, greedy, and a bully. Before the convention, he expected to be treated as a hero, but was very surprised and angry with the kind of treatment he received.

Empire strikes back

Article Abstract:

Antique dealers are experiencing economic difficulties as a result of Australian dollar's low value. Some have turned into exporters rather than importers, while other are shutting their shops and moving to Europe. Many dealers agree that their best antiques are being sold in Europe, which is a loss for all those antique enthusiasts in Australia.
