She's as Aussie as Olivia Newton John, Steve Irwin and Paul Hogan. Whilst often working out of London, she grew up in Melbourne, Victoria, where her career kicked off appearing in Aussie 'soapies' like "Neighbours". She still regularly visits Australian shores!!, Bruce. P.S. After the Janet Jackson costume malfunction, I hope the 1/2 time entertainment can return to the fun family shows they used to be with the Hollywood, musical, Disney or rock and roll themes of the past. Now they were entertaining! Kylie Minogue is very Australian, not British!! She’s as Aussie as Olivia Newton John, Steve Irwin and Paul Hogan.

Remember that the current President George Bush accedentally bared the breasts of one of his daughters at an inaugural ball and that went out over live TV (to fathers, when your daughter is standing on stage in a strapless dress, do not raise her arms over her head in celebration - other things rise as well). That's not the sort of thing you can make a fuss about if you're a newly minted President and it's your own daughter. With the Jackson incident you have something you can use to provide a financial incentive to broadcasters to install delay systems. Apparently sales of those systems have risen quite a bit, so I suppose it has been of some success. It’s not really surprising.
