Aussie dumps on Oz

Robert Goodfellow is a Wollongong-based Indonesian specialist presently teaching at the Mount Eliza Program of Melbourne Business School. He might be an Indonesian specialist but I’m not sure he’s an Australian specialist Robert gets an article published in the Jakarta Post as an editorial where he explains why Australians are so up in arms about Schapelle Corby Check this out.

Australians believe that Schapelle Corby is a victim. This is because many Australians feel they are victims too. They are edgy, angry and confused by the fundamental insecurity of living in a rapidly changing society and an increasingly dangerous world. At home they are nervous about the disintegration of essential services like health and education and public transport. They are terrified of an interest rate rise. They are apprehensive about the government’s sweeping industrial relations reforms. And, above all, they are worried they might not have a job next week.

I feel an appointmet with my Psychiatrist is imminent. I didn’t realize I was worried about so many things. I thought my only concern was the disparity between Scapelle’s sentence and that handed down to the JI leader for the Bali bombing. Seems I’m wrong. This is what the Indonesians are being fed. Robert, who obviously has a problem with Australia, Australians and, me thinks, with the current government, suggests to the millions of Jakarta Post readers that Australia is completely populated with left-wing undergrads. Thanks for nothing Robert. Read the complete article here
