I have just driven back along highways to Mt. Gambier and have seen a number of signs on the road with "Boycott Bali" and others.
My feelings is that I would dig deep for the Indonesian people in the event of any distaster. But to hell with giving this Indonesian Government millions of dollars to rebuild city streets etc.
Also the amount of on the ground support that ours and the US governement has given the Indonesian Government with field experts, Military, Air Force is something that I would not support now.
My main reason is that the Indonesian Judicial system and now the Government have treated both our Politicians and all Aussies' with contempt. We all have been told to mind our own business and it is apparent that they ignore even our PM.
News reports in Melbourne had a number of senior Indonesian officials and experts in law saying that we should' butt out'.
Again just my thoughts.
Just heard someone say that we should ban all air traffic movements to Bali and tie up all Indonesian shipping in port until she is realised.
...don't think we will have to much trouble with our wharfies/longshoremen in doing that. Air Traffic staff have also known to be militant unionist over time..
