...Intervention no longer has the stain of neocolonialism," says an Australian diplomat. The Howard government estimates it will spend $A200-300 million a year for perhaps a decade on Solomon Islands - providing basic services, security, funding aid projects and ramsi's salaries and equipment. "It's a major commitment by Australia," says a ramsi figure. "Not only in dollar terms - the Howard government has placed an enormous investment in Kemakeza personally, and his government.

Italy's Silvio Berlusconi nominated Foreign Minister Franco Frattini to replace Rocco Buttiglione, who had angered parliamentarians with his comments on gays and women. The Latvian government replaced its much-criticized nominee, Ingrida Udre, with diplomat Andris Piebalgs.
