The Opposition 4 is also questioning Kevin Rudd's ability as foreign minister to negotiate setting up an asylum 5 seekers' processing center in East Timor.


Police say the trans-Tasman crackdown on alcohol-fuelled violence and anti-social behavior has been a success. More than 1,200 people have been arrested during the weekend's blitz. New South Wales led the tally 6 with more than 700 arrests.

The worst seems to be over in Victoria's flood emergency. While mopping-up continues in most of the flood-affected areas, the focus is now on the Murray River town of Echuca.
