'Kevin 07' just a media tart: Govt

Federal Government MPs have launched a ferocious attack on Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd, as he launched his own 'Kevin 07' website.

A dozen Labor staff arrived at Parliament this morning wearing T-shirts with the slogan 'Kevin 07' to promote the new website.

The move is the latest in a series of Internet forays by both major parties, with MPs launching their own MySpace pages and the Government releasing a series of advertisements and policy statements via video-sharing website YouTube.

But Liberal backbencher Cameron Thompson was not impressed.

"Kevin 07? Why not 007? Good grief," he said.

Reuters image of Russian sub claiming North Pole was scene from film 'Titanic'

Published: 11 August 2007

Footage purporting to show Russian explorers claiming the seafloor beneath the North Pole was in fact a scene from the 1997 film, Titanic.

The Russians symbolically planted their flag below the surface nine days ago. The Independent led its Friday edition with the story, but did not use the Reuters images, now known to be misleading. However a number of media outlets around the world accompanied their coverage with the pictures, from the film starring Kate Winslett and Leonardo DiCaprio.
