Does anyone know when Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is due to arrive and depart Canberra? Security issues aside, it would be nice to know when to avoid having to travel past the airport as imagine security would be fairly tight. Apparently he will be going to Sydney too???

3 day visit. Address parliament, argue with KRudd over who is to blame for those pesky boats that turn up, negotiations for the ASEAN FTA, state dinner then back home on friday.

You forgot “avoid mentioning the word ‘Balibo'”.

I understand lots of colourful formalwear at the Hyatt last night.

You can tell a dignitary is in town when you have never seen so many police vehicles on the road…

Was that a 21 gun Bam-bang salute?

He arrived to a 21-gun salute around 10am this morning. No idea when he’s leaving.

My bus got held up for about 5min this morning outside the airport while a lengthy motorcade flanked by police cars went past. I imagine that was him.

he landed! he will speak in Parliament @ 2! lunch with GG
