Beach,

Behind the times as usual, "Honestly, what self respecting Foreign Minister would be foolish enough to say that he didn't even know what his own government was up to?" Marty Natalegawa is no longer Indonesian Foreign Minister. He was replaced by Retno Marsudi Oct 27th 2014, and he is a she. LOL

p/s So how would Marty Natalegawa know what the new government is up to on private communications between them and us, he can only suspect.

Poirot,

Even Paul thinks that you are getting desperate quoting MN who has been out of office for nearly a year.

As was observed in several papers, people cannot be prosecuted for reporting mandatory abuse to the correct authorities, however, they can be prosecuted for some of the wild crap that has been fabricated by the activists.

SM,

Save it...the kind of laws you're defending are despicable.

http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/jul/01/open-letter-on-the-border-force-act-we-challenge-the-department-to-prosecute?CMP=soc_568

"Open letter regarding the Border Force Act 2015

Today the Border Force Act comes into force.

We have advocated, and will continue to advocate, for the health of those for whom we have a duty of care, despite the threats of imprisonment, because standing by and watching sub-standard and harmful care, child abuse and gross violations of human rights is not ethically justifiable."

"If we witness child abuse in Australia we are legally obliged to report it to child protection authorities. If we witness child abuse in detention centres, we can go to prison for attempting to advocate for them effectively. Internal reporting mechanisms such as they are have failed to remove children from detention; a situation that is itself recognised as a form of systematic child abuse."

Paul1405, "Marty Natalegawa [aka "Party Natalegawa"] know what the new government is up to on private communications between them and us, he can only suspect"

Not someone you should be taking any notice of then.

The criticisms of those who place any credence on Indonesian diplomats and sources still stands.

Poirot,

That list sure brings home the care taken of economic migrants by Australia and the huge expenses involved.

Now what about showing a similar list of worthies who are concerned about the international criminal gangs involved in people smuggling and other highly profitable nefarious activities and the drownings at sea after Labor's Kevin Rudd willfully and stupidly destroyed Howard's successful Pacific Solution, against all advice?

Just some of the compelling reasons why Labor was tipped out of office in Canberra.
