Last time there was a mention was when Barack Obama visited Aussie back late last year,BUT gee there has been alot of water run under the bridge (so as to speak) and I dont know whether there has been any more mention about it.
We have had a challenge and the Foreign Minister has been dethrowned,we have had heaps of things happen here and I dont think that there has been any more mention about it,or not that there has been any media mention about it,BUT again,it may have slipped under the radar.........
I am not even prepared to email and ask my local Federal member as he is not a Labor member and is also like many other Lib/NCP members a complete PIG.....
All I can say is watch this space.........................................

here is a link to look at www.smh.com.au/national/obama-to-send-marines-to-darwin-20111116-1njd7.html
