    Mahathir said today....

    "On Australia, another favourite target during his premiership, Mr Mahathir maintained his opposition to Canberra's attempts to forge closer ties with Asian political and economic groupings.

    Asked what Australia could offer the proposed East Asian Community, he replied: "Nothing".

    Some countries have suggested that Australia should be invited to join the EAC, but Mr Mahathir said: "They are ethnic Europeans, they cannot be Asians."
