With nearly 2000 muslim Rohingya and Bangladeshi migrants having been rescued at sea in Southeast Asia in the past two days, and 600 already in Aceh, we can now expect the lot and more to be heading to Australia. These migrants are certainly not welcome in ANY Southeast Asian countries, including muslim Indonesia and Malaysia.
All these migrants will end up in Indonesia before heading to Australia.
Indonesia (and Malaysia) can send these people back where they come from, but will they?
Our government have squandered all goodwill with Indonesia by pandering to a vocal and noisy minority that demanded two convicted drug runners not be executed by Indonesia.
Watch this diplomatic drama with Indonesia unfold regarding boat people.

Is there any good reason why theses 2000 odd Muslim migrants would not stay in either of the two peaceful Muslim countries you speak of ?
Would these countries not be considered a safe option and a better fit than Australia?
