Indonesian Aid, page-65

"and a slap in the face to our countries kind nature of help and aid."


hmmmm - our countries kind nature of help ------------ appears that a lot of expect something in return - so it isn't just out of kindness and help.

Tony Abbott certainly expects something in return -

nothing to do with kindness and help there - comes fully with strings attached.

Just another boofheaded embarrassing response shot from the hip really.

If you want to pull some strings on the gifts you have previously given - and, how bad form is that -

then pull in the favours on something that you can change --- sorry, it is as clear as crystal that the Indonesians won't budge on this - and, why should they - it is there LAW, it has been in place for years - and, if some of your dumb criminals want to break it - the LAW will be applied.

Let's not forget just who the criminals are here.
