"Military families will have a special present this Christmas as Australian troops arrive home from Afghanistan two weeks early.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott described the exit of the last troops from Oruzgan Province this weekend as 'bittersweet', acknowledging the deployment of 26,000 personnel over the years had come at a cost."
I note Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono suddenly wants to be friends again:
"The president has told The Australian while the dispute over the story had hurt him personally, he is determined to repair the relationship as part of his legacy for Indonesia at the completion of his second and final term in 2014."
Apart from the possibility of biased reporting from the Murdoch press, I suspect the Aust govt has put their foot down on the usual Indonesian gamesmanship and malarkey and told them to suck it up, or things will only escalate.Statistics: Posted by SydneyPSIder — 17 Dec 2013, 08:06
