Bush unlikely to visit NZ

A visit to New Zealand by US President George W. Bush now looks unlikely. It was thought Mr Bush might spend an afternoon in New Zealand while in Australia for next month's APEC conference. But the president is now arriving in Sydney three days before APEC starts and he will head back to America before the conference comes to an end in time for the sixth anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Protest groups in New Zealand have been using internet sites to gear up for any potential visit Mr Bush. (Yahoo Xtra News)
