helen weld public health

Robert here. I'm just writing a quick one to say that Helen is in Darwin and fine.

There was an assassinattion attempt on East Timor's President and Prime Minister yesterday morning. She spent the day in the U.N. compound with her friend Meg who helped get her on a plane out of Dili a day earlier than she was planning. There is still a lot of uncertainty about just what will happen now, but things were rather tense and Helen described it "like being in a 12 hour movie".

Helen will write something soon, but I just wanted to post this to let people know she was alright.

Cheers, Robert
