I understand we have had to make some bad compromises because we are so close to Asia, we are not perfect but if you look at the bigger picture we do alright. Just about any Asian country can win a war against us by shear number, the chinese army out numbers our whole adult population. We do send our Aussie federal police overseas who's mission is to serve and protect, not blow your head off like any military service ( Fiji is a very troubled nation divided between native people and Indian people). Hicks made a bad choice but at least he lives here in a normal house doing normal things in life, same with Jullian but it's the Swedes who want him, he may get sold down river by them, yes we would extradite him to Sweden but not to the USA. Billionares world wide try to influence government, here they have limited success, but apparently better success in the USA and Russia. The stolen generation is our big regret but we also did the same to single white mothers, social morals have changed and we do as much as possible for them now. Indonisia is a pain in the arse and our biggest threat, they could invade and sustain that invasion, we are trying to educate there military into not being such bastards but it will take a long time. Your complaints seem a little minor compared to what the USA does on a daily bases.

I'll grant you that. However, that's not because of a different morality or humanity. Just look at the treatment of asylum seekers during the last decade. The main difference is the military and economic might of Australia and America. And don't forget the billionaires' influence that got the last Prime Minister booted from his job. I better leave it at that in case the world's richest woman squashes me to death.
