Maybe it's a good thing but hasn't Australia been boring in a newsworthy sense of late? Every fatal car accident seems to make the news, the upcoming tour of the cricket team to Zimbabwe is getting far more coverage than it deserves, and even the Sydney Morning Herald had a video of a two nosed calf on the front page of it's website today. Boooring! Not that I want any major disaster to happen but it would be nice for something exciting to happen to liven things up around here.

If it weren't for the federal election later on this year all the commercial channels could have a five minute bulletin and still cover it all and SKY news could have a holiday for a week or two.
