4. The Australian govt doesn't look out for their people...
Edited on Sat Jun-10-06 03:00 AM by Violet_Crumble
Ask David Hicks, who had to go to extraordinary lengths and apply for British citizenship because the Australian govt, unlike other govts, haven't been pressuring the US to release their citizens imprisoned at Gitmo. Or ask the dozens of Australian citizens deported from our country after mistakenly being thrown into detention centres how well the Australian govt looked after them. After being paid around $75,000 each in a settlement that includes a confidentiality clause they may not be too interested in talking though :)

When I see Downer pushing to pull Australian troops out of Iraq coz it's so dangerous, then I'll rethink my position...
