Summary

Prime Minister John Howard, in his comments at a welcoming dinner in Jakarta causes foreign confusion when he states that Australia is not a bridge between Asia and Europe - a remark he later clarifies as really only referring to culture and politics - and not to trade and economic development - remarks perhaps recalling a time in our history when bridge-building of any sort in Asia was compusory for some Australians.--Information provided by Geoff Pryor.
