"We squeezed da Ozzies for $1Billion and they kowtowed.

We squeezed 'em further for $5Billion and they kowtowed.

Let's keep squeezin'! Say, $10Billion? "

$1bn? Never mind this poor soul then:



Never mind the show trial, the refusal to test the drugs for country of origin, the subsequent burning of that evidence so it could never be used to free her, the 'judge' who had never acquitted anyone in 500 drug trials, the President urging an example to be made pre-verdict, the refusal even to collect CCTV from denpasar airport.

Never even mind the barbaric 20 YEAR sentence, more than murderers, rapists and terrorists often get. Never mind the loss of legal and human rights of an Australian citizen.

Let's just brush it under the carpet and bung them $1 billion.

What is going on here? She is dying there, whilst the media brainwash a nation with what is nothing more than unsubstantiated smear.

Even whilst you read this, this song is buzzing around the world, but is hidden in Oz because it isn't a smear.

When are people going to wake up?

I should have added the Aus-Indo political assessment which I found on the same site: International Politices and Schapelle Corby

That mentions the imortance of the Aus-Indo relationship to the WEST. I am sure that had a role too, with respect to this loan.

For Schapelle, IMHO Rudd is an absolute disgrace for not using this to get her out. A pre-requisite to help regimes like that one should be HUMAN RIGHTS for all Austalian citizens there.

She has hers ripped away via the show trial (research assessment). Lending them the money whilst this stands is a green light for more... and signals just where the human rights of Australians stands on Rudd's agenda.

Think about it!

If it gets to depression stage, there will be even more poor, hungry, young, impressionable people looking for something to do. It's already started in China. But not invasion by Indonesia, yet.

So a cesspool could develop given the necessary circumstances of :-

A) an insane dictator x
B) a strong religious base √
C) a powerful, well drilled army with large numbers and an endless supply of munitions (source, money) x
D) an ample supply of food and clothing x

Until A) manifests things will be okay.imo.

I feel very sad...

But to be honest they/we/our representitives, live in a big picture world. We are scared or the North and their pending invasion! Therefore, we bribe them to keep them on our side, so, when the mindset of these people comes to light, we shall be on good terms.

How pathetic!

If they do try to invade Australia THATS when we will need the USA and i dont care if it's Bush or Obama I want to see those huge US warships move to our region - we will need a strong ally and Labor aren't as friendly as the Libs toward the USA.

Ahhh what the hell Rudd will just bow very low and give them Qld anyway.

 

[MrBurns]

AND another thing I as a taxpayer also strongly object to this loan on the grounds that Rudd has an obligation to firstly follow Labor policy and isn't that that no Australian child shall be living in poverty ???

Or was that one forgotton when Hawke left the scene, pockets full of gold, for himself.

$1B would feed plenty of our own.

 

[deadset]

We've given them alot of additional bonus Billions on top of the normal amount we give them, they must think its funny.

Burnsie mate, we are all citizens of the world and the Indos are not a bad bunch of people apart from their godbothering.

There are a fair few in Townsville at the uni, and from what I'm told and from the ones I've met they are decent people.

They pop out about 5 times a day to pray, no more than those going for a durry.

Its a poor country and a powerful one so being friends with them is wise and forward looking.

I understand, I just give in to simplistic thinking sometimes, it makes you feel better.

At least they'll have some new banks to put the money in

ANZ to open 10 more Indonesia branches

Posted Wed Dec 10, 2008 6:17pm AEDT

ANZ says it will open another 10 branches in Indonesia by the end of next year.

It is launching two branches today in the country's second biggest city of Surabaya.

The bank now has seven branches in Indonesia, which it says is one of its highest priorities in its Asia Pacific expansion plans.

It says it is introducing new products and services to the Indonesian banking sector and helping the local economy through supporting infrastructure and trade.
