Blog Australia's bid for UN General Assembly seat | UN Australia | SBS World News: "When the first among the Australian contingent arrived, they struck up a conversation with the Mongolians, who had some prime real estate at the front of the room.

The amenable Mongolians were happy to sublet their spot to the Aussies on the basis that they'd need it back at 4pm.

Unfortunately, they came back a little early, surveyed the tangle of Australian equipment and journalists, stood for a moment looking slightly less amenable than before and then left, presumably conceding - for the time being at least - that possession was indeed nine-tenths of the (international) law.

It's not clear whether the Mongolians will return to avenge their loss or take their retribution in other ways."
