New Indonesian president warns Abbott
New Indonesian president warns Abbott
Indonesia's incoming president has issued a blunt warning to Tony Abbott that it's unacceptable for the Australian navy to enter Indonesian waters uninvited while turning back asylum seeker boats.
President-elect Joko Widodo has told Fairfax Media that Australia and Indonesia have closely overlapping strategic interests but he promised a tough approach to issues of sovereignty.
The former Jakarta governor outlined plans to strengthen ties, including boosting military and intelligence links.
#####
Abbott should tell him Australia is not interested in strengthening ties with him/Indonesia.
Abbott should also not share anything to do with military and intelligence with him/Indonesia.
Australia doesn't have a lot of 'military', but what it does have it should not be showing to Joko/Indonesia.
If Joko thinks the people-smuggling boats from Indonesia to Australia are going to be allowed to start up again en masse he's got another thinK coming.
Not even 'king' yet and he's already issuing warnings, some might say 'threats'.
What Abbott should do is stop running up to Indonesia very 'five minutes' and 'grovelling' to Indonesian politicians.
About time Indonesian politicians were made come to Australia if they want to talk about something.
