Locally:

Robert Doyle will resign as leader of the Vic. Liberals, when it is found out that he has no leadership qualities. Robert Clark to take over as leader.

Internationally:

Changes coming out of North Korea, apparently Kim Jong-il and his cronies are starting to feel the pinch as 10% of the NK military's top brass have defected over the last 5 years; the citzens are starting to get restless as more try to escape, there's reports of increased criticism of the regime in NK though up until now any resistance or defiance has been silenced by the regime. The regime's broke with no friends (even China thinks they're a liability).

The US, and Japan are starting to get sick of NK's defiance. China's permanently stationing thousands of troops near the border in case of unrest or further waves of defectors. Yet, Roh moo-hyun and his Government in SK continue to placate Kim Jong-il with his softly, softly approach.

I seriously doubt they'll be any military strikes against NK (far, far too risky) though increased pressure from the US, Japan, and most importantly, China (as the NKoreans respect and depend on China to a large extent) will force the NK regime to make changes or face further sanctions.

Surely the Pope will hang up the boots. I reckon he might just get one more Easter under his belt first.

Birdy will get hit by a bus and will be totally buggered when he realises there is no god and no heaven, but relieved there is also no hell.
