Just prior to the Prime Minister departing for the United States to discuss keeping the South Pacific trouble free with United States President George W. Bush the PM held a short press conference.

Besides the affairs relating to foreign affairs the PM also outlined some potential changes to the legal system that have cropped up as a result of the recent 'historical' rape trials and the disastrous events surrounding Graeme Burton and his parole. The use of the National Party's Leaders fund being used to pay a company associated with the Australian Liberal Party was also of interest to the Prime Minister and certain media.
