Lost in the chaos of recent months is the case of the imprisoned Australian author accused of insulting the nation's royal family in his novel. His most recent attempt to gain freedom through bail failed and the 41 year-old author appears set to spend the rest of 2008 without any assistance from the Canberra government.
"Deaths in the cells are not uncommon. Once we are locked in our cells at 4pm no one is permitted to leave."
The offending book sold 54 copies.
This lack of success had not helped his case.
No one knows that he's in jail or why.
Hopefully the King will grant him a pardon for the new year.
