Crikey is Australia's leading independent source of news, investigations, analysis and opinion.
It is a load of fanciful bullshit though because it is not people smuggling, it is giving refugees a ride from Indonesia to Australia.
Honest to god this is the same man stupid Michael Usher got sucked in by.
The only tactics required are to avoid being shot by the military and to get straight to the authorities in Australian territory and that is all it has ever been.
jesus weeping you journalists are pathetic the way you swallow all this old bollocks.
“As has been observed in relation to other cases of this kind, the prisoners were not involved in a ‘people-smuggling’ exercise. There was nothing covert about either operation. They were transporting the non-citizens to Australia for presentation to Australian authorities. There was no attempt to hide from the authorities or to disguise what they had done.”
And there is the small issue of the people smugging protocol which forbids punishment for people who arrange transport for refugees and the refugees, a protocol we ratified in 2004.
For pete’s sake do you morons have to buy into this tripe?
