Yeah I agree, I was just responding to the previous post about what "had been done."

There was a massive drop in aid in the budget I believe

Will no doubt be ignored or ridiculed at a Widodo gathering.

Their already getting a 21 gun salute? Just goes to show the sort of uneducated moron that would make a meme like that.

I will certainly never travel to Indonesia, there are plenty of other great holiday destinations. And I know I'm not the only one.

It really is a joke of a process. What's the point of asking them who they want the witness to be in the first place? They were obviously never going to approve it in the first place. Being a left wing person who wouldn't piss on Abbott if he was on fire, I agree. I'm really not sure what more...

If they're going to do something as serious as the bloody death penalty, surely they have the brains to understand that all legal processes should be respected before you put a bullet through a mans heart. To me, they would lose any credibility they had left if they proceed tomorrow night now...

SBS are going with it:

Wonder if Q&A have gone too early. Haven't seen it anywhere else. Appeal probably on the basis of the alleged $130,000 bribe offered to Chan and Sukumayan.

Q&A have just said that a hearing will be heard on May the 12th. Bloody fantastic news. Another two weeks for a miracle to occur.

Both of their motives can no doubt be questioned, but we really have no way of knowing if they do or don't love each other. Could be 100% legit.

Our government, which I am far from fond of, have handled this reasonably well. They haven't been too aggressive in their wording until now. Hearing Abbott saying today "Killing these men will not be in the best interests of Indonesia" was to me a nice little threat and I'm like hearing the more...

Is this some sort countdown to an exciting time for you or just a comment? Cause if you're counting down rubbing your hands together....

Did you use terms like h8er to obtain your PhD? God help us.

In a few days....

They're stuffed. They have been for yonks and the result of the appeal is obviously predictable to us all.

You know little graham I am surprised, like me you do seem rather left wing. The death penalty to me is a right wing ideology. Behind all his media persona's, Abbott deep down probably agrees with you on this one.

Yup fair enough. He's an a-hole. He shouldn't be shot though. You're not going to present me with anything that makes me think otherwise.

We get it. You're too cool for getting emotionally involved in any story the mainstream media goes with. People are debating with, and don't believe in, the death penalty. It's a reasonable stance to have. It doesn't mean they don't have empathy for people addicted to drugs and it doesn't mean...

So it's not possible to be against this and people being locked up in our country because of the colour of their skin?

http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/03/19/no-executions-foreigners-near-future.html You would think if they're not going to execute them the move to "execution island" was way too premature. They wanted to kill them straight after the move and it's not happening. By the way, can a mod...

Seems they were able to palm it off as being "Mr Gardiner's" fault.

Watch out. In come the water pistols.

Really? :eek: It was all over the news at the time. That prom/formal picture of him that was shown 500,000 times on the news is still imprinted in my brain.

Very valid point in my opinion. I think people watch these blokes being taken to this island on TV and think it's almost fiction and can't connect with what they must be going through. I know this happens every second of every day all around the world, but two people are about to be killed and...

I was thinking the same thing as your old man but jesus, that behemoth armoured car with 100 armed officers surrounding you, four on each side of you as you walk, there'd be no chance.

How does it matter how they "take it?" They're being killed. Any reaction they have to it would be understandable.

Yes? Death penalty is death penalty doesn't matter where it takes place.

The supposed king pin lives in Sydney, and we aren't barbaric enough a country to have the death penalty. Yeah they got their case heard in front of judges that just got the arse for corruption. Your viewpoint is sickening and would seriously be challenged if your loved ones were ever put in the...

We get that you're passionate about Asia Bibi, doesn't make Catastic's post any less relevant.
