They have reportedly been threatening individual citizens here.
They are targeting those who are critical of a particular overseas regime.
I began to think along these lines....
That 'Australians' who are criticising another 'regime' must decide who they are.
Are they Australian citizens?
And if so, what they are doing is certainly not normal activity for a citizen.
Citizens should not be waging a 'war of words' with another country.
If they are not willing to stop, I think they should leave this place.
That kind of activity is reserved for the government of the day to pursue.
They could instead make it clear to our government that a particular situation is serious, and some form of intervention is needed.
If it thought it necessary, the government could do this at a diplomatic level, or perhaps a trade level.
But it is difficult to do this when the 'regime' in question is the legitimate governing body of another place.
In any case, individuals should not engage in any kind of private 'war of words'.
And those who are reportedly harrassing the locals must be found and deported.
Once again, the government should be active in this area.
For the government to fidget and hesitate is not acceptable.
And those suffering extreme deprivation of liberty elsewhere in the world must fight their own battles.
World opinion can be with them, and help provided to them through government channels.
But no active part should be taken by any individual from another place!
In this case, both sides of the 'argument' are using the wrong approach.
Both sides should be forced to cease their absurd 'cloak and dagger' activities immediately.
We cannot become a battle ground for another country's woes.
