Disappointing.

And boat people... dont even get me started.

Getting pissed on/spat on, when you take them out freshly cooked food, (which they tipped over anyway), we gave them the ability to have a clean water shower, cordoned off private toilet, a stretcher to sleep on.... Fuckers all needed a bullet.

Then you set your fucking boat on fire, jump in the oggan, and know that under SOLAS requirements, we have to pick you up...

It used to be so much easier in the 'old' days...

*Crunch*
*What was that......*
*Dunno... sounded like a wooden boat*
*I cant see anything. Remain on course 055*

Helping countries in our region in this context is appropriate and is a way of building better relations with them.
Who knows, it may assist in them toughening their attitudes on things like illegal immigrants...perhaps not...but the bottom line is we are assisting with education and that is a noble cause.
In this day and age we can't afford put a paper bag over our heads and pretend the outside world doesn't exist. I think we should all feel good that we are able to assist those less well off than ourselves at least in some small way.

Nauli that reasoning would be sit ok with me except for one small issue, their military regime. Fat chance that money we give their government will build schools. 75,000 in their Navy alone and they cant stop some illegal people smugglers...LOL. They dont need our money and must laugh at the stupid Aussies on a regular basis.

The Indonesian National Armed Forces (Indonesian: Tentara Nasional Indonesia, TNI; formerly Angkatan Bersenjata Republik Indonesia, ABRI) in 2009 comprises approximately 432,129 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 and external invaders once they have occupied the nation[2]..

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 were recruited in their own home regions and generally trained and served most of their time in units nearby.

The Indonesian Army is by far the largest, with about 328,517 active-duty personnel, compared to around 74,963 in the Navy and 34,930 in the Air Force.[citation needed]. The Indonesian armed forces are entirely 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[3]

Defense spending in the national budget was widely estimated 3% of GDP in 2005[3], 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 540,000 personnel, BRIMOB (police mobile brigade) of around 39,000 armed personnel, the Civil Service Police Unit, MENWA (university student regiment) 26,000 trained personnel, and HANSIP (civilian defence) number unknown.
