INDOS WILL TOE THE LINE WITH TONY. If you watched the ABC you would believe Abbott had no hope of stopping the boats. The Left would like you to believe that, but the truth is a long way from it. Abbott will stop the boats and with the assistance of the Indonesians, simply because it’s the Indonesians themselves who have kept the trade going. And now the game is up. Rudd and Gillard were treated with sniggering contempt but Abbott has them standing to attention with little beads of sweat on their slanty foreheads. And he hasn’t even arrived there yet. The Indonesians know their weak excuses won’t cut it with this administration and they are about to co-operate to safeguard their little yearly aid gift of $600 million. They need to top up their Swiss bank accounts and refurbish a few weekend palaces. Jakarta Airport customs agents know full well who arrives from Iraq and Afghanistan etc, with valid passports, and they know their intentions. These well-off arrivals are not in Jakarta for the hookers or for a rub of Buddha’s tummy. The boats can stop with Jakarta customs agents, it’s just a matter of compensation for bribes lost. Forget the white-noise nonsense of turning back or buying boats. Forget “regional solutions” and TPVs... our broken border problems start and end in Indonesia’s corrupt Immigration Department. A little more payola and that problem is fixed. Except it’s not called payola, it will be called, “Illegal Entrants Repatriation Fund” or the like. And the cost will be minimal when compared the $14 billion cost of Rudd’s open border policy so far. The ABC used the old sordid tactic of trawling for a maverick to iterate its own view. Pathetic! In no way could that little germ represent the Indonesian Government. More likely he was on the take and could see his corrupt income dissipating. But that’s our ABC... (in its current form). Within weeks boats will not be leaving from Indonesian shores. If they do, it will be because Tony Abbott doesn’t understand how third world countries work. I don’t believe that’s the case. - Larry Pickering. 20/9/13.
