To the 'usual suspects' you know who you are, if you don't just look in the mirror, you are the ones still waring straw hats and spats, and pushing the 'gun boat / fortress Australia' line on this forum when it comes to asylum seekers.
It's good to see our PM going to Indonesia in a couple of weeks time (assuming she is still PM then) and there she will discuss with President Yudhoyono ways of stemming the flow of asylum seekers coming to Australia by boat. Unlike the Mad Monk who only last October when meeting with the Indonesian President, did not have the 'guts' to raise the asylum seeker issue with him, its seems Abbotts rhetoric is purely for domestic consumption and nothing more than that, rhetoric.
Recently Paris Aristotle, a member of the government expert panel on asylum seekers, called for government to government engagement at the highest level on the issue as the only possible way of coming to a resolution. Good to see Gilgard taking the advice.
Just to put the refugee issue in perspective as far as Australia is concerned her is a link;

Julia Gillard has travelled overseas frequently. In fact she is usually abroad. Why did she leave it to this late stage to hitch her butt to Indonesia to discuss this very important subject?
She has known about it for a while,

Oh wouldn't it be wonderful if some fool Indonesian were to kidnap her, & hold her for ransom.

With any luck they would ask for $10 or more.

No whip around in Oz for the ransom to be paid, & have her return could ever raise that much, & we would be rid of the fool.

Nah, It wouldn't take long for them to be prepared to pay us to take her back, & some lefties would be silly enough to take the money.
