Re your post which included; "... sure it happened while labor where in government but what Abbott has done is more or less say that he doesn't care that it happened and it will continue to happen. ..."
You're spoton!
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's complaint was not directed at the spying per se, it was directed at Tony Abbott's response to those allegations.
Abbott has continued to deny this and has pretended otherwise; pointing his great big finger of blame at the media, at the Indonesians and even at Bill Shorten when he raised the Obama Solution in Parliament.
Well Abbott is our PM.
It's HIS behaviour before the election, at APEC, at CHOGM and in response to SBY's protest that has caused a minor issue to spiral out of control.
It's therefore HIS responsibility to rebuild the relationship without surrendering Australia's national interests and without making even more of those humiliating international apologies he's already made,
