Fascinating to watch a panicked Opposition comprehensively misrepresenting Kevin Rudd's comments regarding Indonesia.

Faux outrage - 1

Political substance - 0

True.

Rudd stuffed up by over egging the cake.

He should apologise to Indonesia.

"KEVIN Rudd's warning of conflict with Indonesia is a reckless mistake that betrays the sheer depth of Labor's frustration over its failure to stop the boats.

Rudd broke every rule in the book for dealing with Indonesia. His remarks misread Jakarta, risk the prospects for co-operation and are unwarranted on the basis of Tony Abbott's turning the boats policy.

Rudd's injection of possible conflict with Indonesia into his domestic row with Abbott over how to stem boat arrivals is irresponsible for an Australian prime minister."

P Jack while you have found yourself in Australia,s best forum.
You to are in this section, up to your chest in conservatives.
No not Liberals, but true conservatives.
Do not link much understanding to their posts.
They after all are Abbott fans.
And tend, like him not to care much about reality.
Abbott it is reported this morning told his team Turnbull is the man who virtually gave this country *the INTERNET*
Chuckle worthy stuff that.
Let the Libs have their due,they are the best comedy show in town.

SM,

"He should apologise to Indonesia."

But, SM, Indonesia doesn't have to resort to hysterics to represent itself as having substance.

Indonesia's Foreign Affairs spokesman (being a grown-up) stated that it's obvious that Rudd's comment was just part of the "pre-election argy-bargy" of domestic politics.

Can you explain this from Julie Bishop?
