Thanks Christopher, Great quote . Abbott lied in saying his trip to Indonesia resulted in an agreement on his turn back the boats policy. Apparent that NO SUCH AGREEMENT was made. Indonesian minister, Djoko Suyanto, to assert powerfully that the country would never take refugees from Australia under similar circumstances — a declaration that scuttles any chance that Mr Abbotts three-year old promise of turning back boats could become a reality under this Indonesian government. The Indonesian government never agreed to such wishes or policies by Australia, said Indonesian coordinating minister for security, Djoko Suyanto to the ABC on Friday. We have expressed this point of view since the Rudd government and there are no changes in our policy in relation to asylum seekers who want to go to Australia in the current Tony Abbott Government. Australia already has its own detention centres in Nauru and PNG so they should send these asylum seekers ... [there] NOT to Indonesia.
