If you've ever wondered how Howard and his secret agents 'stopped the boats':
There was a clandestine Black Ops (meaning no accountability if deaths occurred) CIA-style program (the Indonesian Government was kept in the dark about) to sabotage boats to prevent them leaving Indonesia with Indonesian police being bribed to to turn a blind eye or assist boats being sabotaged so they would be unseaworthy. If any did get into sea-lanes to Australia, the over the horizon radar was switched off.
Nobody will even know how many sabotaged refugee boats foundered - for Howard and Abbott to claim the Libs 'stopped the boats'.
Now Abbott is claiming he'll Stop The Boats but he won't reveal the "Black Ops" how to Aussie voters lest they vomit in disgust. Rudd is all at sea over refugees. Only the Greens will abolish Ruddock's Gulag Archipelago of prisons.
