	President - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A common presidential symbol is the presidential sashes worn by Latin American presidents as a symbol of the presidency's continuity, and presenting the sash to the new president is a key part of the inauguration ceremony.
		President can also be the title of the chief executive at a lower administrative level, such as the parish presidents of the parishes of the U.S. state of Louisiana, the presiding member of city council for villages in the U.S. state of Illinois, or the municipal presidents of Mexico's municipalities.
		In French legal terminology, the president of a court consisting of multiple judges is the foremost judge; he chairs the meeting of the court and directs the debates (and this thus addressed as "Mr President", Monsieur le Président, or appropriate feminine forms).

	ACLU president insults Australia - Media Release
		The President of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Nadine Strossen, yesterday described Australia as a "global village idiot" because it has tried to protect children from illegal material on the Internet.
		In Australia, 53 per cent of those surveyed said they would block pornographic content in all circumstances, while a further 33 per cent said they block this content in certain circumstances.
		By peddling sensationalist rhetoric in order to get a headline during a flying visit to Australia, she is doing the whole cause of sensible promotion of civil liberties a great disservice.

		Australia’s new hardline refugee policy has failed to quell Indonesian anger, with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono demanding yesterday further concessions from the Howard Government to resolve the escalating Papuan visa row.
		He repeated his call for a review of Jakarta-Canberra ties, saying Australia's claim of support for Indonesian sovereignty over Papua was at odds with its granting of three-year temporary protection visas to 42 asylum-seekers who arrived on Cape York in a large outrigger canoe in mid-January.
		Indonesian ambassador to Australia Hamzah Thayeb, who was recalled by Jakarta last month in response to the granting of the visas, expressed frustration yesterday at not being returned to his post.

		As of 2004, Australia's Head of State is Queen Elizabeth II, called the "Queen of Australia" by the Australian Constitution.
		There is much debate over the powers that such an office would have, however, and controversy over the President's appointment (or election) process caused the failure of a referendum in 1999 on the creation of an Australian presidency.
		The Australian Republican Movement advocated that the President be elected by both Houses of the Parliament of Australia, while other republicans advocated the election of the President by universal suffrage, citing Australians' traditional dislike and distrust of their politicians.

	Materials Australia - President's Message
		With fission energy, there is the continuing issue of storing nuclear waste, where Australia has had a track record of invention with, for example, the development of Synroc in the 1980s.
		Australia’s potential involvement in this international project is unclear at present but the Australian ITER Forum has been lobbying government to secure funding for a substantial involvement that will open up opportunities for the materials community.
		One area where Materials Australia may be able to assist our community is to foster closer interaction between our research and industry members that can lead to a larger number of joint, high quality applications to the ARC for Linkage Project funds.

	President urges Australia to allow refugees to stay
		SNOWDON: President Xanana Gusmao, on what he calls a personal visit to Australia, nevertheless had a message for the Prime Minister John Howard during a speech he gave in Sydney.
		Most feel they have more links in Australia than in East Timor and significant community support is behind them, and as Xanana Gusmao points out, East Timor, where almost half the people live on one Australian dollar a day, is not at a stage of economic development to offer them jobs, welfare or even housing.
		SNOWDON: Following Australia's tougher stance generally on asylum seekers, the government doesn't want to offer special visas which might be taken advantage of - either by undeserving East Timorese or the 13,000 unlawful asylum seekers it says are in the country.

		Among republics with "responsible government" and a non-executive President there are many with a President elected by the members of Parliament (either the central Parliament alone or together with members of the regional Parliaments) that work perfectly well, and also many with a directly elected President that work perfectly well.
		President Grimmson of Iceland and former President Robinson of Ireland were criticised for that, but then so was our former Governor-General Deane.
		In fact an elected President is likely to have been "grilled" more thoroughly on his or her attitude to crisis resolution than an appointed Governor-General has ever been.
