Not unusual.
Phillip s got it wrong, yet again. The answer to the problem is not Indonesia stopping its non resident visitors leaving on leaky boats. It is in stopping the trade. ONLY Malaysia can do that. Posted by Belly, Thursday, 27 September 2012 12:32:12 PM

Hi Guys,
I’ve posted this image before: http://www.smh.com.au/world/sri-lankan-group-in-legal-limbo-20101216-18zmy.html It caught my attention because the faces/body language didn’t match the tales of trauma and woe were being sold. Since then I’ve done a little digging and come up with the missing commentary --see below: http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o681/PeterEpson/Withcaptions_zps1eea4b9f.jpg Posted by SPQR, Thursday, 27 September 2012 1:38:50 PM

Belly - Are you for real?
Quote "Phillip s got it wrong, yet again." How is it wrong? Quote "The answer to the problem is not Indonesia stopping its non resident visitors leaving on leaky boats. It is in stopping the trade" This statement is ludicrous the none residents leaving on the boats are the problem. Quote "ONLY Malaysia can do that" Again this statement is ludicrous, Malaysia can only stop them going to Indonesia VIA Malaysia they can't stop them going direct to Indonesia. Now if you go back and read my post it is a satirical comparison to how the Indonesians are able to rescue there own citizens using 10 ships and a helicopter BUT being unable to even find a refugee boat without the Australian Navy doing all the work.

Quote "A helicopter and at least 10 ships were searching for survivors, said Gagah Prakoso, a spokesman for the National Search and Rescue Agency"
This must be a miracle they rescued 200 people without the help of the Australian Navy, praise be Indonesia are finally rescuing people and taking them to Indonesian ports.
SORRY
Read some more it was an Indonesian ferry with Indonesians on board.
BUT it does make you wonder why they are so quick in this case but when it is a boatload of refugees they CAN"T EVEN FIND THE BOAT but Australia always seems to be able to find they and conveniently bring them to Australia.
Imagine 10 ships and a helicopter but when it is a refugee boat nothing.
