Smelly Aussies hit Jerusalem

The Premier of the Australian state of Victoria had to wear the same clothes for two days as he toured Jerusalem, met with Ehud Olmert and visited the Kotel -- all because his luggage wasn't loaded on the plane from London to Tel Aviv. Was he or was he not flying El Al? My sources don't say.
They do say, though, that after two days without a toiletry bag, "another in the party admitted to 'breath that would put a camel to shame'." What's the point of travelling with 'a party' if you don't include a personal assistant or someone who can go buy you a toothbrush? Haven't they ever heard of a concierge? Yuck.

UPDATE: The Age says it was British Airways. Phew.
