Fotografia de José Ramos Horta com a embaixadora australiana, Margaret Twomey, na noite do dia em que Mari Alkatiri apresentou a demissão.

Dos leitores: Hi, you might be interested in this email with photos, which is circulating around Dili after the party the Australian Ambassador to East Timor set up at short notice with Jose Ramos Horta Monday night – once Alkatiri had resigned that afternoon. I gather Twomey sent this email to her local staff - pretty good timing, huh? I think that "Bad result" means Australia lost to Italy - definitely not referring to the political events of the day. You might think she would have some decency to be a bit more subtle, given the criticisms out there about meddling with Timorese politics, the constitutional crisis, and that Horta was pivotal in bringing about Alkatiri's resignation.
