...that it's essentially already there. Amendments in 1995 made explicit that, except in extreme circumstances, "parents share duties and responsibilities concerning the care, welfare and development of their children . . . (and) agree about the future parenting of their children." In addition, says Sydney family lawyer Hamish Cumming, assurances along these lines do little to mollify parents who feel their kids are slipping away from them.

...finally to Australia, where the Sydney Morning Herald's Hamish McDonald offers a thoughtful analysis of the dilemmas facing special forces operatives in a real-time war. "Right in front of the TV cameras, American and British special forces went about their deadly work, using burning oil, tanks and air strikes to put down the last sparks of resistance by Taliban prisoners who had seized weapons and taken over the Qalai Janghi fort? The horrors of this and another fierce fight in the country's far south at Takhta Pul, near Kandahar, last week showed the risks and grim moral...
