Ill Clinton misses press conference

FORMER US president Bill Clinton has skipped a joint press conference with Foreign Minister Alexander Downer because he was feeling unwell.

Mr Clinton today signed a memorandum of understanding on behalf of his presidential foundation with the Australian Government to boost HIV/AIDS programs in the Asia Pacific.

He was expected to attend a joint press conference with Mr Downer and Qantas chairwoman Margaret Jackson.

But Mr Downer explained Mr Clinton's absence by saying he had been feeling unwell.

"I don't think he's been feeling very well for the last couple of days," Mr Downer said, without elaborating on Mr Clinton's illness.

Earlier today, during a speech to the global business forum in Sydney, Mr Clinton complained of feeling unwell.

Shortly before the press conference at Sydney's Westin Hotel, security staff removed two actors from ABC TV's satirical Chaser program.

Was drinking involved? Some sort of macho stunt gone awry? A jealous argument in the bush?

I saw him on tv yesterday (or day before) and I couldn't believe how bad he looked.
