Dear SPQR,

Good.
I'm pleased that you were there
becaue you will fully understand as to what
upset me so greatly and there's no need to refer you
to any transcript or for you to Google things for yourself.
Thanks for that.

Foxy, "reminded me of the brown-nosing .."

added to your previous,

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"

Foxy setting the tone of the debate.

Nice form Abbott, apologizing for a call made by our government (halting live cattle shipments) that the majority of the general public supported at that time, for good reason. Indonesia reacting as it did over this was vengeful, so why do WE apologize? Obsequious, and he's openly set a precedent in exposing Australia's disunity, which is not tolerable in a family member. If he's not going to back us in he should STFU.

On boats, there is no regional agreement with Indonesia and boats will leave from there as they like, entering international waters where Australia has no jurisdiction and no right to divert any boat from its course. When boats reach Australian waters claiming asylum, their claim is processed immediately as "rejected", by our navy acting on government orders, and they are ordered to leave Australian waters (to go where?). Then the bungs are pulled and the boat scuttled leaving our navy in the predicament of adhering to UN maritime convention, which we can only hope it does as we've already ignored our obligation under the UN refugee convention by then.

If anything will work to stop the boats it will be to let boat-scuttlers drown or to continue to processing and asylum in PNG. Whatever happens we're only going to know about it what Morrison decideshe wants us to know. Will canon-rounds be used to deter boats as happened under Howard? Will naval logs be comprehensive and available for scrutiny? We have a right to know at every moment of every day what our government is doing in our name. This is not wartime.

So what has Abbott achieved other than to con a majority of Australians into voting for him then pacifying Indonesia over everything he said in the election campaign regarding boat, as well as apologizing for our past d principled actions over live exports? Why aren't you haters annoyed with him given he's turned out to be such a pussy?

He really does need a lesson in etiqette too. He almost ate the Indonesians, gripping arms and getting very close up.

Foxy,

wiggle, wiggle ...you'd go well on "Dancing With the Stars"--And Poirot has the hide to talking about Abbott's "BACKDOWN"!

Foxy:"[Look it up on Google]...you will fully understand as to what upset me so greatly"
Ahh Foxy, I couldn't possible do it justice -- no one else could see things the way you do...thank God!

Dear SPQR,

Yes. I am a Goddess.
Thank You!

Dear OTB,
