January 9, 2008.
A new youth-friendly mental health centre is to be established in Bathurst. The Federal Government has allocated nearly $1 million for the program to the Central West Division of General Practice. Wonderful news.
In less optimistic news, contrary to what we heard two days ago, the Kenyan opposition has rejected a notion to have peace talks with the government, citing election fraud. The new cabinet was drawn yesterday, and a minor presidential candidate, who won only 9% of the vote, was named vice-president of Kenya. Not surprisingly, large sections of the Kenyan population are not happy.
And finally, Georgia's leader, a bloke named Mikheil Saakashvili, has won re-election, sealing a bitterly fought victory that his main challenger is refusing to accept. Calls and protests for a re-vote have been squashed, as mediators say the election was in no means 'rigged'.
