I don't really understand why the Ozzies have been so mean spirited over the oil thing.Sock Thiefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08914793362678205913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6588751.post-1105049187236549682005-01-07T11:06:00.000+13:002005-01-07T11:06:00.000+13:00Oh and to the Sock Thief - I really didn't mean this to be all about oil. That is boring. I just jumped out of my skin when I saw a photo of Howard hugging the Indonesian President - set me thinking. <br /><br />Good point on the amount going th Aceh........... still I figure there is something to my post.....Simon Poundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10351186613824709050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6588751.post-1105048558554698612005-01-07T10:55:00.000+13:002005-01-07T10:55:00.000+13:00phew Stan - scathing but one-eyed.<br /><br />The East Timorese would be surprised that the agreement did not include them.......<br /><br />The Indonesians were furious that Australia changed sides......<br /><br />Generosity in all other areas is a good thing and unrelated to this case.<br /><br />I do think it is a very good move - especially the retention of control over their aid. I'm not entirely sure what you are taking issue with - if you believe an agreement between Indonesia and Australia that excludes East Timorese interests is cricket...... well that might explain it.<br /><br />Sorry mate, pants.<br /><br />You should be ashamed of yourself for your misdirected indignation, as much sense and relevance as a mad woman with the runs.Simon Poundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10351186613824709050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6588751.post-1105006110924900462005-01-06T23:08:00.000+13:002005-01-06T23:08:00.000+13:00Sorry mate. Undergraduate at best.<br /><br />You ignore the fact that the Maritime boundary between Australia and Indonesia was substantially agreed upon before East Timor became independent. East Timor inherited the present boundary.<br /><br />You might also explain what exactly are greedy Australians hope to gain from helping their neighbours in PNG and the Solomon Islands.<br /><br />This work is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.Stanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08794502424803320198noreply@blogger.com
