If the horrific murder of two Australians is carried out then we should boycott Bali and all things Indonesian.
We gave over a $billion dollars to this country after the tsunami, we prop then up with foreign aid and they spit in our faces.
They have ignored all diplomatic attempts to mitigate their sentences and Watta a Joko has now signed the order to send them to the "killing Island" wouldn't want to kill them on Bali now would they, might upset the tourism business.
I'm appalled and disgusted, scared and frightened for these men and heartsick for their families.

The honey has worked in Indonesia before. Wouldn't it have been better if the PM had done the same? Months ago?

What? don't you think he and all the government officials and diplomats has been doing that? of course they have.
There was no threat to Indonesia but a gentle reminder that they are are friends and friends don't kill each other's citizens.

That's your way.this is the funniest post on this entire thread!!!
Abbott had no right to 'handle' this situation the way he did.
Once again his lack of tact has put Australians in a bad light.he is now even accused of being the reason these two poor benighted Australians will be executed. Being accused that it's his fault if they are executed. How funny do you find that?
They are executed for being ring leaders, and drug smugglers of over 8kg's of heroin. Blame them!
Abbott certainly didn't do anyone any favours by opening his mouth. He is socially inept!
Rubbish, you mean he didn't bend over for a murderer? don't you.
You know the one, Watta Joko, the poor excuse for a human being who ran on a ticket of state sanctioned murder.
I am proud of the way the government has handled this very serious situation and Indonessia need to know that we will not sit idly by while they shoot defenceless prisoners, no country would or has.
Ever heard the saying "you catch more flies with honey than vingar"........ wish the PM had......lol
Proud of our government......hmmm........ how's that worked out?....oh.....they hate him!
The only hate I see is from posts like yours. Cheap political potshots when this is the most serious subject and heartbreaking situation. But never mind that, just take a few more cheap shots.
Lol.

This is worth re posting as it seems to have gotten lost in a lot of dribble

looking out for the interests of their people
how can President Widodo show clemency to foreigners when he executes his own peole for drug trafficing
what is that saying to the people of Indonesia
Tony Abbott has become involved because of general concensus
Not opposition to the death of two drug smugglers
But opposition to the death penalty
At least Tony is trying an honest hands on approach to tackling some very serious issues confronting this country
and is even man enough to admits when he makes a mistake which is a rare event in politics
Boycotting Bali is not the answer to this Problem
Let's try BOYCOTTING DRUGS instead

Honey and dollars worked with a couple of drug carriers before.
Different people in charge in both countries.

I have a sinking feeling they will kill these two defenceless young men on Sunday.
