	Deputy Prime Minister - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Deputy Prime Minister is the deputy of a Prime Minister, and a member of a nation's cabinet.
		Deputy Prime Ministers traditionally serve as acting Prime Minister when the real Prime Minister is temporarily absent or incapable of exercising his/her power.
		Deputy Prime Minister is often a job that is held simultaneously with another ministry, and is usually given to one of the most senior, experienced ministers of the cabinet.

	Australia's Deputy PM quits
		?Australia's Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson resigned Thursday, saying in a speech to parliament he was stepping down because of health concerns.
		As transport minister, Anderson had often railed against what he branded unfair competition in the global aviation industry which he said was damaging to national carrier Qantas.
		Prime Minister John Howard said Anderson's resignation was a "very sad day" for politics and paid tribute to his efforts to improve transport links throughout Australia and his role in initiatives to improve water supply in the arid Australian countryside and boost services to remote rural Australian communities.

		John Anderson on Thursday resigned as Australia's deputy prime minister, robbing John Howard, the country's leader, of one of his most trusted colleagues just as the ruling coalition tries to push through contentious industrial relations and telecommunications reforms.
		Revealing a long-standing health problem for the first time, Mr Anderson, transport minister and leader of the National party, the coalition's junior partner, said he would retire to the back benches for the rest of the current term before leaving politics at the next election.
		Such tensions flared up again publicly among the Liberals earlier this year when the prime minister, who turns 66 next month, suggested he might lead the party into the next election, much to the annoyance of Peter Costello, his deputy.

	John Howard
		As leader of the Liberal Party, John Howard became Prime Minister of Australia after the March 1996 election.
		He set about reforming his image from the 1980s, which was one of a right-wing economic rationalist and social conservative, softening his stance on some industrial relations issues and his opposition to the republican movement, while building on the favourable side of his image-as a down-to-earth, honest, ordinary Australian man with strong family values.
		Howard's regaining of the Liberal leadership and his eventual gaining of the prime ministership revealed him to be a politician of remarkable resilience-in his own words, "Lazarus with a triple by-pass".

	CorpWatch : IRAQ: Australia May Be Forced to Suspend Wheat Monopoly
		Australia's Deputy Prime Minister Mark Vaile, who defended the AWB's monopoly during a World Trade Organization gathering of trade ministers in Hong Kong in December, has attempted to separate the wheat exporter's privileged sales position from the ongoing inquiry into its business dealings with the former Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq.
		Unless the Iraq Grain Board relents, anything short of suspending the AWB monopoly could put millions of dollars of grain contracts to a key export market on hold at a time when Australian growers should be contemplating a bumper wheat harvest after several years of crippling drought.
		Both Vaile and Australian Prime Minister John Howard have argued that the issue of the single desk and the oil-for-food program which is the subject of the Cole inquiry should be kept separate.

	Planet Ark : Fears flare over chance of 2003 Australia drought
		A spokesman for Anderson told Reuters yesterday that the deputy prime minister's warning, to a range of farm groups in Brisbane last Thursday, was based on cautions to him by academics and long-range forecasts to agricultural organisations, that back-to-back El Ninos were possible in 2002 and 2003.
		This is despite the fact that Australia, the driest continent on Earth, has had historical cases of four-or five-year droughts.
		The present serious drought has already generated huge bushfires throughout vast tracts of eastern Australia, destroyed tens of millions of tonnes of winter wheat, barley and canola crops, sent cattle and sheep markets reeling as farmers dump starving stock, and is now destroying winter crops of cotton, sorghum and rice.
