It looks a bit worrying doesn't it?
Even those supposedly loyal to a government - or country - should not be denied the opportunity to question the actions of the representatives of that government.
There are those on these boards that believe that anyone that even dares to question the Navy about this incident are treacherous, dare I say "un-Australian". We should blindly accept that they can do no wrong.
Well I happen to think it's the opposite - that those that want to shut down any sort of debate on this are the ones that themselves show no respect to our democracy and our democratic process.
If this incident isn't investigated, there will forever hang some sort of doubt as to the actions that took place that day. Simply saying "Oh no, the Navy wouldn't do that" isn't good enough. We the public - the tax-paying public and the employers of the politicians and the Navy personnel - deserve better.
Transparency and open government - that would be a fine thing. As soon as there is an attempt to stifle debate - including calling the ABC treacherous for "daring" to air the allegations - we have started down the slippery slope.

Who are they? I'm pretty sure the Navy didnt burn the hands of those men and an investigation will prove that. I'm all for it. Once the investigation is complete, if it is proven the men lied about their injuries then they should be automatically excluded from seeking asylum in Australia.
Who are they?
The same people that are wondering why they are not being told what is going on and why. Nobody has given an answer about the broken gps's yet 🙂
I posted about that richo and it was doubted that it ever happened, why would that be?
Whatever happened to giving people a fair go?
