Suu Kyi urges Australia to support Myanmar democracy

    Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has appealed to the
Australian government to use its unique position as a Western
democracy in Asia to promote democratization in Myanmar.
     In a video message smuggled out of Myanmar and shown to 
parliamentarians in Canberra on Wednesday, the Nobel Peace Prize 
laureate expressed concern that Australia's foreign policy was not 
consistent with the aims of the pro-democracy movement.
