I wrote this article by mainly using the transcript from the inquiry (which was huge yesterday). The ABC article was used to source the information about Mr Downer entering through a side/back entrance and the Herald Sun article was used to find the date Mr Downer told parliament that he had read the January cable - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 23:30, 11 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I can confirm Alexander Downer did indeed enter through a side entrance. He was supposed to be there at 10am. This was then pushed back to 10.30am, then 11am then 12pm then 2pm. Around 12.15pm, I heard that he was inside. All up, I waited for him from 9.30-10.50am and 12-3.00pm: all for nothing! I couldn't be there any other time because I had classes to attend to. I do however have a photograph which I think I'll title "What's Missing In This Picture?"; it is a photograph of two photojournalists on either side of the entrance to 55 Market Street and an open but empty entrance x( -- Jasabella 11:32, 17 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

This is really going to hot up today, we will find out whether or not Australia's prime minister will be required to appear before the inquiry tomorrow - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 23:30, 11 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've started Portal:Australia/Cole Inquiry. - Borofkin 01:07, 12 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thankyou Borofkin. I think the Cole Inquiry is going to be very interesting this week - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 01:51, 12 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Yep. To Jasabella and others: keep the photo's coming! One of the PM tommorrow would be brilliant, but even some photo's of the building, sign on the front door, media scrums, etc, are useful. - Borofkin 02:02, 12 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
