Foxy, "If he crawled any further up the Indonesian President's
rear - Abbott would have been behind him"

Foxy, "What exactly did Mr Abbott achieve? Except kiss backsides
big time"

Foxy, "I guess Mr Abbott finds that of all the available
alternatives - kissing rear-ends is best"

Says the poster who is forever lecturing others on how to conduct a debate.

You are constantly revealing your origins. LOL

Poirot,

The only idiots that were using megaphone diplomacy were labor trying to embarrass Indonesia for rank political ends. The stupidest most offensive move to Indonesia was the suspension of the live cattle export business.

Abbott has only been in power for 2 weeks and already he is repairing the damage done by Labor.

Foxy,

Drug smugglers are also "providing a service" the question is whether it is legal to cram people into unsafe boats. Who does this idiot Indonesian poly think is responsible for people drowning?

Foxy "I watched the interview in full" ?

I think Foxy must be joshing. I've looked high and low but I can't see the Abbott interview annnnywhere on New Matilda!

Gentlemen,

We've had Tony Abbott touring the country warning us
day in and day out of the looming crisis in border
security telling us over and over again that
the government's duty is to the Australian people not
the Indonesian. And now with his first visit to
Indonesia - all of that disappears and nothing but
praise is heaped on to the point that leaves us
wondering ...

As Mr Downer rightly stated - the Indonesians are only
concerned with "Indonesian sovereignty" but what about
"Australian sovereignty?" Our PM telling them how much
Australia has to learn from Indonesia - and apologising
to Indonesia reminded
me of the brown-nosing of John Howard with George W.
However, let's see what he does next for the Australian
people.

BTW: SPQR - the interview between Tony Abbott and the Indonesian
President was telecast live on TV. I'm surprised that you
weren't aware of that. Most informed people were.

cont'd ...

I'm flattered by all your attention.
You sweet, kind man.

As for your reference to my "origins?"

I don't have to limbo under my family tree.;-)

Hi Foxy,

Since you are so well informed, can you quote the comments of Tony Abbott that indicated: <<If he crawled any further up the Indonesian President's rear - Abbott would have been behind him >> Tony Abbotts exact words --not your take on them-- I mean if they had such a impact on you I am sure you can recall them word for word!

<<SPQR - the interview between Tony Abbott and the Indonesian President was telecast live on TV. I'm surprised that you weren't aware of that. Most informed people were>> Foxy I was there ...and shared a dish of nasi goreng with Bambang Yudhoyono afterwards!
