I should loan my mobile phone to the RAN. It can pinpoint my position to within several metres on most days, within a couple of meters on others.

Indos and others have been doing it to us for years. Ours was at least in a marked vessel not a "fishing" boat that has electronic interception equipment.

Minister Against Immigration Scott Morrison sounded very nervous giving his statement about this occurrence

maybe if the indonesians did something to stop the boats leaving their waters we wouldn't have to be there to stop them entering ours..
and on a side note, is indonesia that powerful that we need to worry if we upset them a bit? i'm not fishing for an argument, actually have been wondering since they caught us spying and got really upset

The Indonesian navy doesn't match us with large vessels but they have enough smaller craft to land soldiers on our Northern Coast at will
This makes them powerful enough for them to be a worry. |

how many here would be up in arms if an armed Indonesian naval vessel turned up off the coast of Darwin
you can't have your navy chugging around another nation's territorial waters like they own it |

Should send a clear message to Indo and others that things have changed The previous (slack and murderous) open border policy is over. Of course SHY and the other socialist bleeding heart hypocrites will be up in arms - they can all take a long jump!
If Indon doesn't like having the RAN (or anyone else) in their waters then all Indon needs to do is manage the illegals entering their territory in the first place. Indon simply needs to tow the illegals back to where-ever they first came from. Of course the multimillion dollar people smuggling industry within Indon might not want this to happen... |

Amazing how we previously proudly accepted Vietnamese boat people who have integrated very successfully, but we've become a racist nation again and now call the latest boat people fleeing the same sort of persecution 'illegals' and use catch phrases like 'stop the boats' to appeal to the lowest common denominator. A sad time for our nation that we'll look back on with shame in the future |

There is a right way and a wrong way to enter the country, and its nothing whatever to do with being racist,
illegal aliens can bring disease with them, not to mention the fact without being screened you have no idea what sort of person is coming into the country, and i read some time ago the boat people accounted for about 3% entering oz, so for those on their high horses calling us racist etc,etc, perhaps think again. Edit: imo immigration is something that needs very very very careful scrutiny, people should look/do research around the world to other country's that have embraced multiculturalism, look at UK, they have some very very serious problems over there that will not go away any time soon.

Is it just me or are Indonesia itching for a fight. The last two diplomatic dramas have been met with massive overreaction, steeped in hypocracy. Or is an election looming. It would appear to me Indonesia is doing everything possible to sour the relationship from their end. Reasons??? Is Indonesia wanting to inflame tensions by sending warships in even after an apology and commitment the mistake would not occur again. Bad things happen when militaries rub shoulders. Payback for East Timor...

On the subject of Indonesia, why do we need to be on bended knee to them? Could someone enlighten me as to why we need close ties with them?
Because they are a growing population and they cann't go North, East or West only SOUTH!! Sometime in the future they will..so we have to be nice to them!!!! The Indonesian National Armed Forces (Indonesian: Tentara Nasional Indonesia, TNI; formerly Angkatan Bersenjata Republik Indonesia, ABRI) in 2012 comprises approximately 476,000 personnel including the Army (TNI-AD), Navy (TNI-AL) including the Indonesian Marine Corps (Korps Marinir) and the Air Force (TNI-AU). The Indonesian Army was formed during the Indonesian National Revolution, when it undertook a guerrilla war along with informal militia. As a result of this, and the need to maintain internal security, the Army has been organized along territorial lines, aimed at defeating internal enemies of the state and potential external invaders.[4] Under the 1945 Constitution, all citizens are legally entitled and obliged to defend the nation. Conscription is provided for by law, yet the Forces have been able to maintain mandated strength levels without resorting to a draft. Most enlisted personnel are recruited in their own home regions and generally train and serve most of their time in units nearby. The Indonesian armed forces are voluntary. The available manpower fit for military service of males aged between 16 to 49 is 52,000,000, with a further 2,000,000 new suitable for service annually[5] Military spending in the national budget was widely estimated 3% of GDP in 2005,[5] but is supplemented by revenue from many military-run businesses and foundations. The Indonesian Defence force personnel does not include members of law enforcement and paramilitary personnel such as POLRI (Indonesian police) consisting of approximately 590,000 personnel, BRIMOB (police mobile brigade) of around 42,000 armed personnel, the Civil Service Police Unit, MENWA (collegiate military service) 26,000 trained personnel, and HANSIP (civil defense forces), number unknown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indones...l_Armed_Forces

It's obvious, they are upset that we are standing up to them & their peoples smugglers inside their territory & they are offended. Give the indons time & they warm to the idea that Australia is a sovereign country & has the right to defend its borders like they do, and we are allowed to say buggar off mate when we can.

It's nothing to do with military "might". Indonesia lacks a decent airforce and navy to put up a fight with ANZUS.

Pray tell how would a corrupt 3rd world regime secretly plan organise and get the vast minions at their disposal across the sea without attracting some attention and ire from the powers that be? People need to do themselves a favour and measure the distances involved, it is a bit more difficult than crossing The English Channel. Now what are the invaders going to use to sail across the sea, a vast fleet of fishing boats? How well is this going so far? Does anyone honestly think a concerted and deliberate "invasion" isn't going to be met with some resistance by Australian armed services. Once in open waters the fishing boats would be sitting ducks. Australia has dozens and dozens of planes available to make any open sea crossing (no matter how large in numbers) have a very very bad day. Naval vessels attract torpedo's and missiles. Of course some would make it to land and then what? Have you been to North Western Australia or Northern Territory - you don't last long without tons of supplies. They'd die of malnutrition, disease and the crocs would take out a few too. Let Indon rattle their sabres because that's all they can do and they know it. |
