so Indonesia thinks it is OK

[*mrgrizz*]

to force a Australian plane to land because it entered their air space.

but think we can't turn around their boats that enter our waters

It could also effect Australians travelling on other aircraft in the area if a small plane comandeered by terrorists intercepted known flight routes and caused a mid-air collision. Many large passenger jets in the world have collided with very small planes and crashed.

Not another one from the grammar/spelling police force. I'll do it just once to show you that it does become very boring. The correct spelling is ' COMMANDEERED' not comandeered.

I wouldn't want to anger Indonesia, if I was Australian. With Indonesia's close proximity, and all the money we give them to shore up their military, I think it's best we zip it.

Don't sweet it dg. The Indonesians can only manage to beat journalists (The Balibo Five) or push around insignificant unarmed countries like East Timor. It would be like Australia invading Pitcairn Island and claiming victory.

 I don't "sweet" anything (cut out the carbs years ago). You need to do some research on the Indonesian armed forces before you claim the nation is no threat to Australia.

How immature indeed.

Oh dear, you are flustered.

Every light plane has to lodge a flight path and have clearances, otherwise we would have light planes crossing into airline flight paths all over the place and causing accidents.

If we had an unidentified and unresponsive plane flying over our air space we would probably shoot first and ask questions later. I don't understand why they didn't initially respond to the landing orders, unless they were fully aware that they never arranged the proper clearances.

Village person, we are not so kind to East Timor either
