There can no longer be any doubt about Ruddy's principles, he hasn't any.

His greatest moral dilemma of the age, the global warming scare is of no account if it might cost him votes. Nice one Ruddy.

This makes him a suitable mate for our "Friends" the Indonesians.

Now that Ruddies ethics have suddenly allowed him to talk tough, & Abbott is about to get tough, they want to "consult", Yea great, consult, I wonder why they have not consulted during the last almost 6 years? Could it be that people smuggling is an excellent money spinner for a whole range of Indonesians, including the army & the police?

Of course not, these people are our cooperative friends, aren't they? So why the sudden interest in "consulting? Well it's pretty obvious.

They want warning so they can shut the pipeline bringing the illegals into Indonesia. The last thing they want is a few thousand troublesome middle eastern Muslims destined for Oz stalled in Indonesia.

Where ever they go they are bound to be trouble, & Indonesia has enough of that. They are great for making money, but dreadful for your society, if Oz is going to stop the flow, they don't want to be stuck with a whole bunch there.

Yep, they want early warning, so they can turn these troublesome people around at their boarder, & not be stuck with them.

Kind of confirms the implication of high levels of the Indonesian government folk involved in the trade, now doesn't it?

Hasbeen in answer to your question asked in the threads title?
Much more than you mate.
But that is not a hard task.

picking up on my past activity and intercourse with imajulianutter and others of this site, it's unfortunately 'that' time again - and irrespective of your politics and political opinions it's the one that really matters . .

2 - zip - and the third one has just started. Can the Aussies pull of a miracle recovery? I fear not

"Takes out a tiny little urn, within which some long times ago the burned ashes of a cricket bail were stored . . and places it back in it's rightful place in the trophy cabinet at Lords Cricket Ground, St Johns Wood. England"

Some one put together a list of 17 things worse than your borrowed but you own him crooked umpire giving our mate out when the ball was 8 inches away from the bat!
Seems the Jurno stepped on his own wicket.
Half way down the page he put Ronald Regan down as the bloke who started water gate!
