Asylum immigrants - Green Light

It has been alleged that two of the asylum seekers had burt hands when the Navy picked them up. It has yet to be determined how the other 4 sustained their injuries.

The whole event appears to be a fabrication.

Last week on their weekly update General Angus Campbell was asked by the media about claims asylum seekers in custody has sewn their lips together and others were on hunger strikes. His reply was something along the lines it would not be helpful to comment as this puts the matter in the media spotlight thus encouraging others to try similar things. Makes sense to me , and here we have day 4 of the ABC beating up stories of burnt hands .

On the link below, the topic of discussion by the comments was all about the ABC and there leftist Marxist attitude to the the whole story.

I agree, Abbott and Turbull must take some action to remove this element from the ABC and have the ABC demonstrat a neutral and unbiased political position.

Just maybe the ADF stratgey has worked sooner than expected.

The Indonesians have been drawn out to protect their borders and in doing so may may see first hand how the Australian borders are being violated by Indonesian fishing boats, flying an Indonesian flag with their human cargo.

The Indonesian Navy, then won't be able to deny from their own observations that the Australian border is being intruded by illegal foreigners.

The public nonsense coming from Indonesia is now bordering on the hysterical.

A number of Indonesian Navy warships have been deployed and four Air Force defense radars have been programmed to closely monitor the southern border, military officials told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.

“We are watching four radars in Timika, Merauke [in Papua], Saumlaki [Maluku] and Buraen [East Nusa Tenggara], which all face Australia,” Air Force chief spokesman Air Commodore Hadi Tjahjanto said.

“If we notice any border violations, our air base in Makassar will be ready. Australia is reachable from there.” Hadi was referring to the Sultan Hasanuddin Air Force Base in the South Sulawesi provincial capital, which is the base of the 11th squadron, consisting of 16 Russian-made Sukhoi Su-27/30 Flankers.

Interestingly, there's been no media reports of fresh turn backs for several days that I've seen. Tomorrow OSB operational update will be interesting in that context.

My bolds.

 

[noco]

I believe it is high time the Abbott Governmenr took a firm stance against the ABC and their reporting...they are certainly not abiding by their charter of operations.....time to start some sackings from the top.

By the time the Navy arrived at the boat in question the engine was stone cold....I do hope the Navy can come up with some video footage of some sort to prove the ABC wrong.....I understand that video recordings are now being made upon interception.

Let's hope Indonesia are just as proactive with Indonesian boats trying to illegally cross into Australian waters.

SAY GOODBYE TO SBY (two weeks old article by Pickering Post)

Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, is playing a clever game of illegal boat chess while Bill Shorten is the boy looking on without a clue how each man moves. This is how the game is panning out and the Indonesian Government doesn’t even know, or care, that a chess game is going on.

There is always an element of respect between militaries, in third world nations they are often the only constant, and Abbott engaged our military to operate on a diplomatic level for good reasons.

The Abbott Government has allowed itself to remain at arms length from covert military negotiations, at least publicly, and the Indonesian Government can safely be frozen out of the decision-making process... and here’s why:

On April 9, Indonesia holds its general election and SBY’s Democrats, many of whom are in jail over graft, bribery and corruption charges, are unlikely to be returned leaving SBY as an administrative lame-duck President until the July 9 Presidential elections when, after the conclusion of his three terms and in a worsening economy, he must resign anyway.

(It’s ironic that half of Abbott’s obstructionist Senate gets the boot at the same time.)

Indonesian election rules require a party, or a coalition, to hold at least 20 percent of the seats or win at least 25 percent of the vote in the April legislative election to qualify to nominate a Presidential candidate.

SBY’s party may not even qualify as its polls dive and candidates are forced to pay their own election expenses because the Democrats have only been able to raise a war chest of the equivalent of $A4mil in rupiah.

So, not only is the current Government unlikely to win the April 9 legislative election but may not attract sufficient votes to allow it to even field a Presidential candidate later in the year.

SBY is now toying with nominating for Vice President and that’s a desperate move that can’t succeed.

Tony Abbott has done something Bill Shorten and co. could never have conceived of and, judging by their howls of criticism over a lack of information, don’t even understand now.

Trying to conduct illegal boat diplomacy against a backdrop of a ruling Party in survival mode is pointless and has resulted in no more than an Indonesian Government “tough talking” to its diminishing constituents.

They clearly don’t know, or even care, what is going on as the military once again dons the cloak of an interim Government.

The boats are being turned back, as Abbott said they would be, and much to the surprise of Shorten, Hanson-Young and SBY’s ministers.

The extent to which military palms have been greased will never be known, but there is no doubt they have been, using funds excised from the aid budget.

We are witnessing an Abbott Government masterstroke overseen by Morrison.

Abbott and Morrison quickly realised the Indonesian Government was in a state of flux and the military the only political constant. For SBY to have a barney with his military now would be bloody suicide and our, and their, military understands that.

With as much humility as I can muster, Pickering Post has been saying since early last year that Kevin Rudd’s boat disaster will only be resolved through the military with money saved from potential future costs... $14 billion so far, and as I said in a previous post, “five per cent of that goes a long way in the military brass”.

Bill Shorten needs to learn to play chess. SH-Y needs to stop playing with herself and either way it’s checkmate SBY!

 

[overhang]

The Navy have gone too far this time, forcing number 1 tennis player Rafael Nadal to hold the exhaust pipe.




Apologies to those with weak stomachs.

 

[noco]

It is very obvious, Abbotts policy of turning back the boats has worked and whilst Indonesia won't admit it, it has assted them in eliminating the problems of transit illegals in that country.

The muscles being exercised by several high ranking Indoneasians is politically induced with the pending elections in that country.

I did see another press report a while ago about another two boats that left Indonesia but returned due to bad weather.

As far as I know it isn't a case of SBY losing.

He has to stand down, after two five year terms in office.

Thanks my mistake, Governor Jokowi is the likely winner a true Javanese and wont be any thing as pro Australian as SBY.

Australia has put out a sprat to catch a mackrel (Indonesia).

If Indonesia objects to Australian Navy vessels from entering Indonesian waters, it is now up to Indonesia to go to the rescue of illegal fishing boats in Indonesian waters with their human cargo when trouble occurs with engine faults or boats flandering in heavy seas. If there are drowning because Indonesia did not go th their aid, then, blood will be on the hands of the Indonesians and not Australia owing to the fact the Australia would be infringing on Indonesain sovreignty....If Indonesian Naval ships are patrolling in the southern waters of Indonesia, they will by compulsion have no alternative but to go to their aid.

Smart move by Australia to draw out the Indo Navy and Air force.

I think the Indos are only half smart.

[dutchie]

Now that Indonesia has patrol boats in the area (nice work TA) every time a boat leaves their shores they should get an anonymous tip off that the boat is sinking and needs help.

Result - Indonesian navy to the rescue and returns boat to the nearest port - Indonesia!

Problem solved!

 

[trainspotter]

Thanks my mistake, Governor Jokowi is the likely winner a true Javanese and wont be any thing as pro Australian as SBY.

Errrrrrmmmmmmmm he has not been nominated by his party as yet !! He is also on the record as saying he is not interested until his term of Governor of Jakarta has expired. If he was to run he would be representing the DEMOCRATIC party (how is that bad for Australia again?) SBY has not exactly been Australian friendly

Hmm...Norway. Makes sense.

Record number of foreigners deported

Some 5,198 foreign citizens were expelled from the country in 2013, an increase of 31 percent since 2012, when 3,958 people were deported.

"It is the highest number we've had ever," Frode Forfang, head of the Directorate of Immigration (UDI), told NRK. "We believe that one reason for the increase is that the police have become more conscious of using deportation as a tool to fight crime."

Nigerian citizens topped the list of those expelled for committing crimes, with 232 citizens expelled as a punishment in 2013, followed by Afghan citizens with 136 expelled as a punishment, and 76 Moroccans expelled as a punishment.

Afghan citizens topped the list of those expelled for violating the Immigration Act, with 380 expelled for this reason, followed by Iraqi citizens, 234 were expelled for violating the act.
