VENICE, Dec 10 (IPS) - It&#39s about the oldest dispute around, which is  good enough reason to hear more on it from those who can  influence a possible resolution. So when Abdelwahab Derbal, head  of the mission in Brussels of the League of Arab States speaks of  his anger over the Palestine issue, these may be words to listen  to, whichever side of the divide (if any) you are on.

Australia is facing a federal election on October 9th with the two main parties having little to separate them in domestic and economic policy. Where the Liberal and Labor parties differ greatly is in foreign policy. The Liberal Party adheres to the "Great and Powerful Friends" doctrine while the Labor Party pursues the doctrine of "Asian Engagement".        Since the September 11th attacks on the United States, terrorism has been thrust to the fore as the dominant security issue facing western nations. Australia has not had a terrorist attack on its shores; but two attacks in Bali and Jakarta have occurred in Indonesia that can be construed as terrorist attacks against Australia. Consequently terrorism for Australia is a foreign policy issue. On this basis the competing foreign policies of the Liberal Party and Labor Party can be compared.
