OTB you ask to be told, in the same terms you tell the world.
But can you consider returning to your home town?
Its a little village and is missing its occupant with a far lessor IQ than every one else.
*We will say sorry* may already have, because we have more to gain by doing that than not.
Some part of our sorry will have to be public ,as the release of this information was.
Abbott had his chance, look at the facts, he could have dumped it on Labor/Rudd, he did not, he went for the macho man answer he now owns it.
I think he showed bravery, but we can not dump on others, before the election after it, he mixed his signals.
He crawled to Indonesia then shouted to them.
Our country must lead in Diplomacy, all the more if the other side has lost its way because it is nearly in election mode.
We are bettor for having a friend as neighbor than enemy

Poirot,
No matter how hard you try & how many links you can drag up on some Liberal being stupid, the undeniable fact is that no two wrongs will ever make a right.

Poirot,
Your link about Mark Textor is from the goose about the gander.

Good morning Individual, please think about yet another attempt to make peace.
Can you read your last few posts here.
Just for a second credit me with those words.
And pretend they are aimed at you.
thanks.
Issue is bubbling away *in public* press as always is looking for another headline and will even after it is resolved continue to dig.
But Diplomacy is taking place, from both sides.
So maybe we can relax.

Dear Individual,

Talking about ganders.

Here's a different take on an early
Australian Nursery rhyme:

Gossey Goosey Gander
Whither do you wander?
You're out of your depth in politics
And you can't help but flounder.

Stay out of foreign affairs Mr Abbott.

For those who think we can make friends with Indonesia.
Indonesia is not our friend, never has been our
friend and never will be our friend. Fullstop.

All the smarmy diplomacy in the world will never alter
that fact. Yudiono has elections coming up soon
in Indonesia, what better way to be re-elected than to
tap into the Indonesian people's dislike of Australians
an appear to be a hero by standing up to the Australians,

It is a double win for Yudiono as now he can refuse to have
anything to do with stopping the asylum boats, thus allowing the Indonesians to continue on their merry way,
creaming off the hundreds of thousands of dollars every month,while Australia remains the silly victim and patsy in the whole operation.

I bet he and his fellow compatriots have a huge laugh about it
when they sit around a table in a private room talking
about Australia and the people smugglers.
