"And if any boat ever set out from Australia to Indonesia to enter that country illegally, we would do our damnedest to stop it."

Maybe TA is anticipating that people will be so desperate to escape Abbott's Australia they will try old boats to Indonesia?

LOL no, that was not what he meant.    If you quote it in context ie post the whole speech, it makes perfect sense.   I tried to find it on the blog you posted the link to but the article seems to be behind a paywall. ooops!

“There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead, but let me be clear, I will be putting a price on carbon and I will move to an ETS
