This one hits home with impact of Eric Blair. Put Mark Textor in the van, not tots.

The chills I get for having to debate the thought of being considered an informer by Aussies for my Indonesian roots and a traitor by Indonesians for siding with fellow Aussies.

The prospects of being stuck in detention with Blot or squeezed onto a fishing boat next to him are too ghastly to contemplate.
The only cheerful aspect to the above scenario is that News Corp would be shut down. But we’d be too wretched to care.

Firsty where are the locals who turn to alcohol and crime when they become aimless and useless and no one respects their culture? Those of irish ancestry revert to our convict roots and become an irritation for our new overlords. Some even end it all while in custody. The prison just gets bigger and bigger and the prisoners exist to be used as a political football when an election comes about. Death by firing squad and death by bottle and syringe

I, for one, welcome our new Indonesian overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted member of the Doggonaut lounge I can be helpful in identifying recalcitrant types who might be hiding out in Brindabella, Nambour or other out of the way places, engaging in hit and run irony or guerrilla sarcasm.
