Wouldn't be an issue if Indonesia did its part at its own shores. Surely you'd agree with this ?
Let's not forget that these Asylum seekers are only transiting through Indonesia towards their ultimate destination; Australia. The Indonesians have always maintained that responsibility lays upon the country of destination, is this really such an outrageous sentiment? Especially considering that Australia is a UN signatory, and Indonesia is not.
Claims such as "Indonesia should protect its borders" are drivel. Indonesia is an archipelagic nation consisting of almost 20,000 Islands, they also have a poorly equipped navy. If it's impossible for Australia to protect our borders - with the most sophisticated navy in the pacific region, how can you except Indonesia to? It can't be done.
Indonesia - as a third world nation, with limited resources - is doing its part, and then some, by dealing with the social and economic burden thrust upon them by asylum seekers wishing to come to Australia.
