Australia is expected to provide a dumping ground by Indonesian Government (15)

Indonesian Constitution preamble states independence is a genuine right of all nations and any form of alien occupation should thus be erased from the earth as not in conformity with humanity and justice.
So I asked myself then why does the Indonesian Government give comfort and support for aliens to enter Australia?
Taken a brief look at Indonesia’s Visa and entry requirements by firstly having regard to the State of Law and citizen’s rights in Indonesia I found…

About time the Aussie government is doing something about the illegal arrivals by people smugglers.
Indonesia was treating us as fools and getting away with it for far too long. At least the abbott government is doing something right, even though I can't stand the little john howard wannabe!
