ABC obsessed with boat policies only now they work
The hysterical anti-Lib, anti-Abbott propaganda by unhinged ABC proglodytes is intolerable. These people are derelict in their duty to inform and in violation of the ABC charter that requires fair and balanced reporting. It is hair-raising that these cretins never bothered to ask the Labor government to explain the more than thousand drowned boat people, whom they lured to their deaths. Did no one notice the ABC’s complete lack of anger at Labor’s catastrophic laws? One who really needs to get the shoe is that fossil Barry Cassidy, who made a complete ass of himself yesterday.
On ABC AM and Radio National Breakfast this morning there is more extensive questioning of the Abbott Government’s successful policies – how they are offending Indonesia, how there are reported escapes from the Manus Island detention centre, how it’s mean to have people in detention there, how we need to resettle them, how PNG won’t accept any boat people as permanent residents, how we are sending unaccompanied children to Nauru.
It is impossible not to see a bias here. The ABC seemed indifferent about Labor policies which brought in more than 50,000 illegal immigrants, lured more than 1100 to their deaths, filled detention centres to overcrowding and cost Australians perhaps $10 billion. It seemed very unwilling to hold Labor responsible for the terrible consequences of its policies.
Yet the ABC seems obsessed with – and hostile to – the Coalition’s successful policies, which have stopped the boats and the drownings. It seems to take offence on Indonesia’s behalf and gives massive coverage to any grievance or claim of cruelty.

Indonesia to raise Australian asylum seeker policy with United States:
Indo’ foreign affairs minister Marty Natalegawa will tell MacDaddy Obama about Oz sending back the boats
Indonesia says it will raise the Abbott Government’s asylum seeker policy with the United States during official talks next week.
Jakarta has stepped up its protest to the Coalition’s boat turn-back policy, calling in the Australian ambassador in Jakarta for a meeting with a senior official.
Indonesia’s foreign affairs minister Marty Natalegawa says a strong protest message was given to Australian ambassador Greg Moriarty over the use of lifeboats to send asylum seekers back.
Dr Natalegawa says Australia was already violating its international commitments, but the use of lifeboats to send people back is an escalation.
“What Australia has been doing is a bigger development than before,” he said.
“In the past when they have turned back the boats, or pulled the refugee boats back to Indonesia, that alone is a violation against their international commitment under the Refugee Convention.
“But this time it has escalated.”
