didn't see that coming .

Indonesia's foreign minister Marty Natelegawa says that.. he will probably be out of a job soon anyway.. 

And I think that he will just be upset that the bribes paid will no longer be worth anything if the Coalition solution works.

I was reading in the guardian, the Indonesian govt called the policies divisive and patronising. They summed him up perfectly.

Well there you go! Did anyone really believe it would work?

it would probably put Indonesia's economy in a nosedive if Australia were able to put an end to the people-smuggling trade.

There is 1 point out of 6 down the drain...

[acacia_pycnantha]

Isn't that two points, martini?

1. Can't turn back the boats.

2. Can't buy up the boats.

3.

4.

5.

6.
