An exhausted Penny Wong says a night of tough negotiatiion was worth it to help forge an intern- national agreement at the Bali climate change talks.
Emotional delegates cheered and clapped when the United States caved in late yesterday and agreed to support the Bali roadmap.
The US concession - 14 hours after the initial deadline passed - came after two weeks of talks and a day of high drama in which the conference head Tvo be Boer stormed out in tears and American delegates were booed and jeered.

Perhaps Americans will now find the courage to hiss, boo and jeer the most destested US President ever from the US White House.
It can be done!
Australians drove a Governor-General (Fraser''s cur, John Kerr) from office and exiled him from Australia by booing, hissing and jeering until Kerr 'got the message' and decamped to London and died without a tear being shed in OZ.
