Australian opposition sends QE2 and QM2 back in time...

It was an event that caught everyone by surprise, with thousands eager to see the meeting of two great Queens, Sydney was overwhelmed as Cunard's giants visited the harbour...for the first time since WW2, according to Gladys Berejiklian, Australia's Opposition Transport Minister.

Chaos apparently descended on the Australian city as commuters and sightseers clashed in their rush to either get home, see the ships, or check they were still in the 21st Century.

"The last time these two ships were in Sydney Harbour people were taking black and white photographs," she said as she attacked the government for lack of foresight.
