The Indonesian government are demanding that the Australian soldier who wrote a homework assignment calling for West Papua to be free, should be punished.
The Indonesian Defence Minister has described such Australian soldiers as "insignificant rats". Indonesian military cooperation with Australia is also reportedly stopping because of posters about West Papua that that Indonesian government found "insulting".
Meanwhile the people of West Papua and Australia are more than insulted that Indonesian soldiers trained in Australia have been committing genocide, torture, murder and severe human rights abuses in occupied West Papua.

We're on the same page at last, Skids (even a stopped clock, you know... ). Sick of us pussyfooting around other countries' human rights abuses because of diplomacy. There's a difference between taking a 'world police' approach to jurisdictions that aren't ours (something I disagree with) and refusing to give in to the misplaced sensitivities of oppressors. As you say, stuff 'em. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

I think you'll find the amount of foreign aid is directly tied to the level of shit they have to put up with us re: our boat-towing and people-imprisoning missions. It's a totally cynical endeavour, but if it's actually helping impoverished people then I can think of worse ways to spend that money. It's not some slum-dweller's fault that their government is comprised of shitheads. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

I suspect you are correct in that, though in fairness we do not exactly admire them and all that they stand for either.
It is all a good reason why we should be spending a lot more money on our defence forces and less on personal comfort. As a large, resource-rich and thinly populated island next to a massive nation with a history of light hostility and terrirtorial aggression, our defence strategy is to rely on international repercussions. Good luck with that. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |
