Aussies have been "invited" to restore order to the Happy Islands. A 2000 strong multinational police and military force comprising men from Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and other pacific states are to be deployed.
There's also speculation (mind you) that the SASR will be deployed to find and get rid of the big baddie Harold Keke. The best part is that i'm going there for my summer holiday :roll:. Two months. Hope it doesn't go ballistic.
