The Sultan of Brunei in Canberra

The Sultan of Brunei was in Canberra the other week. After a brisk morning stroll around Lake Burley Griffin with the PM, the Sultan went to the Sutton Road Driver Training Centre where he went for a fang with Mark Skaife, the Australian Touring Car champion in a new Holden Monaro. After deciding that the black Monaro arranged for him, and Skaife's red Monaro, were to his liking, HRH the Sultan took a liking to Skaife's racing suit, too. As my friend Mark said, "Apparently the Sultan doesn't hear the word 'no' very often".
