James you've out done yourself, your preselection form is in the mail.

i had no idea coffee could be so dangerous, so i'm renouncing civil liberties and reading peirs from this day forth, certainly don't want any blood on my hands, like in iraq.

Good god - this is one pompous ass - apart from his twisted logic - we know he despises what he calls the soft left and notions of humsn rights - why not just say so?

why bother with this artiface of an arguement wrapped in the misery of the dumb bastards languishing in jail overseas?

- because he, like the other self promoting dip stick who wrote the article immediately following (Mirko "Hang 'em High" Bargaric) just likeS to get his face about.

AND FURTHERMORE ( I like to slip the odd " and furthermore" in every now and again as it goes well with self righteous indignation dont you think?) -- Where does this suited pile of arrogance get the assumption that Indonesion judges struggle to construct a sentence?

If we use this fame junkies logic the next severe sentence delivered to an unsuspepcting Australian will be becuase this jerk slandered the Indonesian judiciary.

Gerard Henderson once lamented that the conservative Right in Australia severely lack people who can intelligently and persuasively put forward a written argument that is galvanising and convincing. Mr McConvill certainly fits the bill for providing readers with an unintelligent, poorly thought out piece of diatribe that verges on the racist. He states, “Many Indonesian judges even have trouble constructing a sentence….” What is this assertion based upon? Is it their addressing of the media in English which for them would be a second language or is it their Indonesian which Mr McConvill refers to? If the latter, does Mr McConvill speak fluent Indonesian to make this assessment? His argument is so weak that it makes the likes of Andrew Bolt and Piers Akerman look like a couple of geniuses. If I had the misfortune to study law under Mr McConvill, I would be making ear-piercing demands for my money back.

Well argued and convincing.

Maybe these junkie retards might have thought about the onerous realities of Indonesion law and its attitude to drugs before they tried to get kilos of death powder into Australia.
