I thought this may relate to our latest crisis where we are about to vote (-9Labor Members of Parliament that is) who will be our next Prime Minister.it might help to provide some background on what this is all about. we're not all from Australia.
Most Australia know that Indonesia is harsh on drugs. Some Australian have been killed for this. The problem is that many young Australians are arrongant and think that Asian law should not apply to them. Even recently the Australians were removed from a jail because of a riot caused by overcrowding of Indonesian criminals. Indonesia is our nearest neghbour and a place for cheap holidays like Mexico for Americans. However we must not expect special treatment.hmmm
so its fast & Furious with (possibly) unsuspecting kids and drugs.
does anyone NOT k now Indonesia is "harsh" in the crime and punishment area ?
maybe they will be successful getting her extradited.

The Australian government has announced a claim in its policy over illegal immigration. In the past some would be Immigrants from countries like Afghanistan, Sri Lanka , Iraq and Iran had flown to Indonesia. Then they had paid people take them by boat to Australia. When they arrive we have to take them to Christmas Island and consider any proposals for refugee status under a UN treaty. In the end most of these receive refugee status and can settle in Australia. They take precedence on any would be immigrants waiting in camps in Indonesia. We have one boat almost every day. Some boats sink and we have to rescue them. About 600 have drown . A committee has recommended that the would be refugees be sent to Nauru Papua New Guinea and wait there turn. This is design to stop the boats as they will have no precedence on those who wait in the refugee camps in Indonesia, The Opposition will vote for this legislation This could stop illegal would be immigrants of sailing on leaky boats with no papers attempting to get permanent residence in Australia
