Anyone hear the Indonesian Ministers speech about the Navy ships they have watching their borders.

He said there is no animosity towards Australia but they are watching their property just like Australia they don't want the boats back and I don't blame them.

The asylum seekers are not Indonesian.

Why do we insist they're Indonesia's problem alone?

No, they are from lots of different places and it is Australians paying them money in a lot of cases.

well maybe with their new tanks and subs they bought, and the patrol boats given to them by us they can secure their own borders so the people smugglers don't use their  country as a launching point for their operations into Australia.

So none of the people smugglers are indonesians and despite the fact that they are committing a crime in indonesia, its ok that the Indonesians not only dont care, but dont want them back to deal with them?

It seems that as long as they are only "passing through" indonesia and are on their way here, the indonesiasian dont mind if they are committing crimes in their country. Lucky for them they are only smuggling people and not marijuana.

Some are locked in jails but there is a lot of corruption in Indonesia and they pay off the guards at times.
