"The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut) has commissioned its first attack submarine in over three decades this week.

The first out of three ordered Type 209/1400 Chang Bogo-class (a license-built variant of the German Type 209 sub) diesel-electric attack submarine was handed over by South Korean defense contractor Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) on August 2."

Subsidized by Australian Foreign Aid.

Of course Indonesia needs our aid, otherwise how could they afford their defence budget?

Indonesian Defence Budget $6,900,000,000 (US)

Now there's lot of John Howard schools!!

Maybe we should ask Indonesia for some drought relief aid.

Just maybe in our aid to that country we are paying the age old protect money? in any case aid has many purposes and many ways it is delivered, finding it fun that the right are undermining Howard here bet you would like him back again right now

Issy, maybe the Indo's spend that much on their defence budget, because they see this great big country to their south spending $35 billion on their war budget.
p/s How do we stop those Kiwi's spending so much on war?

Belly,

I'm hoping that I live long enough to urinate on Howard's grave.
