Enough is enough ! I would never vote ! I would never join the army nor let my kids join ! For what? Sacrafice life for these crooks running in our political system is not worth it ! Look at our economy ! Most towns I visited business are closed every few blocks ! The only way I would die/fight for my country if foreign nation invade my country !!

Steady on......l'm not saying the Indonesian Government have done anything wrong.....but subject to watching the program, l think that is what this Australian Current Affairs program may imply.....now whether they are correct or not.....well l am not sure. I guess l will watch it and make my own judgement.

So you don't vote but complains that the wrong people are elected? If you don't vote you don't have a saying in who runs the country.

Not sure if the above is true......but all it is going to do is turn your average punter off putting his or her hand in their pocket if they think that the money is not going to the people who need it.

Same comment on Belgian TV. Nearly nothing happens in Indonesia as the gouvernment stays immobile and to much corruption.

Also I would imagine that with the Corby case / Bali situation showing indo in a bad light on Oz tv is populist appeal..

Spot on LLOS....the media frenzy over the Corby case has redneck Australia wanting to cut all ties with Indonesia....suddenly every second person here knows for a fact that she is innocent....which is just a result of the media portraying that.....now l would not know if she is guilty or not guilty....but l respect the justice system in Indonesia, just as l would think that someone from Indonesia would respect our system. She has been found guilty, so that's it....subject to any appeal that is.

Now will the Current Affair team use the Tsunami story to have some more cheap shots at Indonesia?.........probably.......none of these commercial current affairs programs can be trusted in giving an objective view IMHO.

Re the Corby case.. I do not (and cannot) know the real details.. The only thing I would say is a 4kg lump in a bodyboard bag would be highly noticable and feelable as you picked it up..

I think her looks etc expected her to get off by flashing her lashes..

That is a thought shared by many people.
