There is one thing that has really got up my nose.
That is the contempt Indonesia has shown to Australia. According to Julie Bishop on 7.30, didn't even bother to reply to questions asked by Australia. There is a nasty edge to what the Indons have been doing to us.
And the real story is probably that we did not offer a big enough bribe. That's the key issue in the Indonesian system, and everyone knows it.
The Australian Government was just doing its job, asking for mercy and so on. The same thing Indonesia has been doing over two maids just executed in Saudi Arabia.
We just take it. They couldn't give a proverbial whether we withdraw our ambassador. So expect even more disrespect!
