I'm afraid your president's visit didn't make our local news so I didn't even know he was here.

Malaria in Australia? No GJ. There's no malaria in Australia, but I you can still find it in Papua & New Guinea........further north of us.

I don't know what nets you mean . If you mean the ones that enclose a bed to keep the bugs out, we don't use (or need) those either. I think they may be necessary in areas where the malaria carrying mosquito is rife though.

We tend to have more problems with Ross River Virus and such, that the mossie also carries.
