Your last article on Indo border incursions bombed disastrously because you “omitted” the fact that even the Indo’s have no idea where their maritime borders are.
This time your outrage conveniently ignores the fact that Refugee Advocacy Policy under the previous government resulted in the deaths of 1,100 men women and children.
If you supported such policies you are just as culpable for these deaths as those who implemented the policy.
You can squawk as much as you like but the majority of Australians voted to end the murderous people smuggler business. If you don’t like saving lives and you don’t like our democracy, then why don’t find a publicly funded University in another country to hide in whilst you throw hand grenades at their electorates?
Those seeking more operational information from Sovereign Border activity have one single purpose, to discredit a policy that embarrasses the Left because it is working and meeting an electoral promise.
If you really believe that 1,100 deaths can be dismissed on your “moral/value” judgments then I doubt Australia is the place for you. Why don’t you try this in Indonesia?
