*Ø* Blogmanac | Wilkie for Ozzie of the Year

For Australian readers
Thanks to Noel Winterburn (gday mate!) of the excellent organisation, Conversations for the 21st Century, who sent me this request today:

Noel writes: "Please circulate this information to other like minded people/organisations:

"Mr Andrew Wilkie, the former senior intelligence analyst who resigned from the Office of National Assessments (ONA) in protest at John Howard government's deceit over information relating to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and links to terrorism, has been nominated for the Australian of the Year Award 2004. According to the Australia Day Council, "nominating someone for the awards is the greatest honour you can bestow upon them." If you feel that Mr Andrew Wilkie makes you proud, please support his nomination by providing a written reference for Andrew. This should be sent to:
