What disgraceful terminology you use for A long serving Australian Navy Captain who has just been recognised in the Australia Day Honours. You neo-cons, no no bounds. You will attack anyone if they conflict with your own bigoted views. I predicted that even Abbott would be tagged a lefty by conservatives and I was right. Captain John Ingram has said that the Coalition Asylum policy is MORALY CORRUPT and INDEFENSIBLE
"He says he has an issue with the hardline approach of the Government and "the fact that RAN sailors are (now) being used for political purposes".
"And turning back boats on the open sea and pursuing towards Indonesia, which happened just recently, is not the naval way of doing things."
Mr Ingram says growing anger and confusion within Navy ranks was further exacerbated last week by reports of alleged mistreatment of asylum seekers aboard a boat intercepted by the Navy.
