Mr Downer has praised Mr Wood's family, describing them as "courageous, great stalwart Australians".

He has also praised the efforts of Sydney-based Sheikh Taj El-Din Al-Hilaly.

"He's made an enormous effort, the mufti, and I think real credit should be given to him for the efforts he made and the risks he took, including to his own security," Mr Downer said.

"That's one of the assets we have as a multicultural country that people all came together as team Australia and they brought their different strengths."

Did anyone hear the sheik talking about Howard being a coach and Downer being a goalkeeper?

 

[Not-That-Bright]

Yea, the Sheik has really shown his true colours in the past few weeks... saying he has 'proof' that he helped get the guy free (and not showing it... to anyone). Now he's claiming two other hostages will die because wood got free (I doubt there would be a corrolation between the events)...

There have been a few references to Australia as being "Team Australia"...

Atleast it's funnier than Tom Cruise

Yeah I was just thinking, with an all-Star team like that, these guys must get massive sign-on fees.

John Howard - Coach
Alexander Downer - Goalkeeper
Phillip Ruddock Captain
Nick Warner - Star Player (and Man of the Match)
Sheikh Al-Hilaly - Player

World Cup 2006 watch out . . . Team Australia is on the march!
Undefeated after just one outing.
