“Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono cool on Kevin Rudd’s Asia plan”
Australia • Indonesia

“President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has told [Australian PM] Kevin Rudd that Indonesia is unlikely to support his push for a new Asia-Pacific community as Jakarta sees the existing ASEAN bloc as its priority. The Prime Minister discussed the community plan when he telephoned Dr Yudhoyono in Jakarta on Sunday night. Dr Yudhoyono told Mr Rudd the community was an ‘intriguing idea to explore’ but said Jakarta’s foreign policy priority lay instead in strengthening the Association of Southeast Asian Nations”

“Researchers probe Hep C-diabetes link”
Medical

“Australian scientists looked for the reason why people with Hepatitis C often go on to develop diabetes, and they made an unexpected discovery. The heightened risk of type 2 diabetes was thought to be linked to fat build-up in the liver caused by their Hep C, but tests on people with the blood-borne virus found something else was awry. The Garvan Institute of Medical Research study confirmed the 29 study participants all had ‘high insulin resistance’ – a precursor to diabetes – but the problem was traced to their muscle and not their livers. Professor Don Chisholm said this result was ‘contrary to all expectations’ “

“Criticism for how Haitian money spent”
Finance

Haitian leaders are frustrated with the way billions of aid money is being delivered and spent.

“The world’s bill for the Haitian earthquake is large and growing, now $US2.2 billion ($A2.44 billion), and so is the criticism about how the money is being spent. As half a million homeless people received tarps and tents, far more are still waiting under soggy bed sheets in camps that reek of human waste. More than 4.3 million people got emergency food rations; few will be able to feed themselves anytime soon. Medical aid went to thousands, but long-term care isn’t even on the horizon”
