Don't worry mate. She'll be all white.

Pittsworth, Queensland made headlines last month when school teacher and senior official of the Ku Klux Klan, Graeme McNeil, was jailed for helping one of his students dispose of his murdered brother's body. The defendant's KKK connection made this story front page news. It also fuelled the perception across the country that northern Queensland has a higher proportion of racist rednecks than the rest of this wonderful wide brown, but very white, land of ours.

Pittsworth 'personality' Penny McKinlay attempted to prove that there was no racism within the local high school community by saying:

“Good God! The deputy principal saved the life of a Chinese girl from drowning at the pool,” Mrs McKinlay said.

Well that puts my mind at ease.

Is there still time for Barack Obama to give his peace prize back?
