#1 Australia is too busy brown-nosing china right now to get on board with this spy thing. Is there anyone out there that doesnt know that china has probably the most active spying community in the world?

#3 I am sure the Howard government wants to accept him. The problem is the bureacrats rejected his application. The governments position is there are no exceptions to the rules for asylum seekers. To make an exception for Chen, just creates a rod for their own back as everyone will claim they justify an exception (they do already). You will then get a system where whether you get asylum is determined by how much publicity you can generate and we already have far too much agitprop on this subject driven by cheesy current affairs programs that while professing compassion and concern are only concerned with ratings. Chen will stay (assuming he wants to) its just that the process has to occur.
