Avez Sheikh I am not condoning the atrocities of the past but that was hundreds of years ago, Australia today is one of the greatest countries in the world with the most liveable cities and some of the highest standards of living. Dwelling on the past and not looking towards the future is going to get nobody anywhere. Like I said I do not condone the atrocities of the past but I think it is reasonable to say that Australia has become a far better country than it ever was back then. You can't hold the British Empire hundreds of years ago up to 21st century standards. History is full of horrible things and I am afraid you just have to get over them, The Commonwealth of Australia is not going any where because of something that happened hundreds of years ago.

"The British used colonial North America as a penal colony through a system of indentured servitude. Merchants would transport the convicts and auction them off (for example) to plantation owners upon arrival in the colonies. It is estimated that some 50,000 British convicts were sent to colonial America and the majority landed in the Chesapeake colonies of Maryland and Virginia. Transported convicts represented perhaps one-quarter of all British emigrants during the 18th century." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_colony Might want to brush up on your history, i also never said they were islands.

People seem to be overlooking the fact that the Australian Federal Police informed the Indonesian authorities that nine Australian citizens were planning to smuggle drugs out of Indonesia. The AFP did not stop the couriers from leaving Australia on this mission, nor did they await the couriers (possible) return to Australia where they would have been arrested on drug importation charges. They dobbed their own citizens to the authority of a country that has the death penalty for drug smuggling.

[@shadysif6220]

"Support for the ‘zero tolerance’ approach is partly based on the idea that Indonesia’s laws promote deterrence. However the data tell a different story. Since the most recent execution of a convicted drug offender in April 2016, prosecution for drug trafficking in Indonesia has kept rising. This suggests that the movement of drugs into Indonesia hasn’t slowed, despite a long and concentrated effort from authorities. This failure has many culprits: corrupt bureaucracy within law enforcement, cultural issues within the legal field (such as tolerance of bribery), and socio-economic factors that see the poor, marginalised and victims of other crimes over-represented in the drug trade." That's from the Jarkata Post. In fact harsher penalties from the government especially concerning things like drugs, often backfires, galvanizing the people putting aside differences fighting as a single unit.

I honestly dont understand why some foreign ppl are being so aggresive With Indonesian laws. Ppl that live there agree to that law. So why bother other country ??
