Everyone expected an apology and all they got is a wimp-out!

It is pretty basic to corroborate stories before printing them.

All a bit difficult to corroborate when the navy refuses comment and access
to the navy film of the event. That's the reason why stories involving the
government get run the way they do - the government behaves as if it has
something to cover up.

Garbage. "The navy" refuses to comment because it is not policy or
practice to comment on operations - that would be totally ludicrous.

Garbage 2. The reason why the story was run in that way is because the
ABC is overburdened with Greens-supporters, who have a naturally
Marxist-Leninist tendency to undermine their own side in an almost
sociopath inhuman manner.

I would like to see the journo involved *personally* *meet* the sailors
involved and put that accusation to them *personally*. The journo took
the word of cheats as gospel and distrusted navy personnel. It doesn't
get much dumber.

Bullshit. The allegation was that navy people engaged in torture. The navy
apparently had film that showed the contrary. The navy refused to release
the film, and still refuses. The film has SFA to do with operational
matters. It's now clear from the Indonesian investigation that the story
initially put about by the boat people was untrue. The navy didn't help
itself.

Yeah, but you're a fuckwit, so what you would like to see is something that
only a fuckwit would want.

The report was about a claim by boat people. The Indonesian investigation
showed the claim to be wrong. The navy didn't resolve the problem.

Why should they?

What kind of *fucking* *moron* assumes in the first instance that Navy
personnel committed torture. Are you stupid?

The Navy doesn't need to defend *anything*. The accusers need to show
evidence.

It was *ALWAYS* clear that the story put out was UNTRUE. Our Navy people
simply *don't* do such things.

Next time back your own team, instead of believing halfwit fuckwits who

The meaning is clear, and that you resort to ad-hom instead of logic to
respond shows that you're the fuckwit.

The Navy didn't need to resolve or prove anything. You and your fuckit
Greens mates need to learn to back your own team.

Moreover if they respond to every stupid claim they'l spend more time in
press conferences instead of patrolling the borders.

Hmmm. Because they are accountable and responsible for what they do,
ultimately to the Australian people. There is absolutely no reason not to
release material that puts the record straight.

> personnel committed torture.

No-one assumed anything of the kind. There was a report indicating such
claims. The appropriate response is to deny the claims and, since there is
a film of the events, to release the film to the public.

> Are you stupid?

Yet again, unwarranted projection on your part.

They have the "evidence" of what they say happened, with the burns on their
hands. The navy has film. The navy should release the film. How hard is
that to understand?

Our military do all sorts of things. When allegations are made against
them, there is no automatic presumption that the allegations are false. If
there is physical evidence demonstrating the falsehood (eg a film), the
appropriate response is to release the film.

It doesn't need a press conference to release a film.

Accountable to the defence chief who is accountable to the minister. In
this instance it is critical that the whole operation be kept low-key.
You'd have to be blind, deaf, dumb or leftist not to get that.

See above - they have *no* particular responsibility to release
anything, and in that context without any evidence you hacve no right to
assume that anything untoward took place.

This is *our* Navy and I trust them. Why don't you?

What are you some fuckwit Greenie lawyer twitting on your smartphone in

YES THERE IS. If you want an untrustworthy military , go live in North
Korea or produce *evidence*, otherwise you have 2 choices:
1. Apologies
2. Shut up

Real military operations have embedded journalists precisely because
the military understands their responsibility to keep us informed
_and_ to ensure that they have reasonable control over what is
reported. The pretend secrecy and the childish title, Operation
Sovereign Borders, should give you a clue that the source of the
entire "policy" is a public relations company.

The journalists would have preferred that but they were not permitted.
It would interfere with Morrisson's PR agenda.

The journalists published the information they were given by the
police. If Morrisson wants to run a phoney public relations war he has
to wear it when some people smugglers use the same tactics.

Garbage. You're an idiot.

Do you *seriously* think that *all* military operations have journos
attached? Or is that just your slimy way of arguing?

The government announced up front that there would be secrecy. I have
explained in another post why this is. You blissfully chose to ignore it.

*No* there will not be a journo attached. *No* there will no longer be a
media circus. Get a clue.

Your ABC didn't even believe the story (but still ran it). "The Defence

So, to clarify, just what do you imagine "classified" operations means?

I'll give you a hint. It's the level of restriction applied to access to
the relevant information by the bureaucracy. It's purely a bureaucratic
invention. In reality, it's just bullshit. There is obviously sensitive
information that governments want to keep secret. None of the information
involved about asylum seekers is sensitive, unless you are concerned about
the sensitivity of the Australian government to its fuckups. None of it
would be of the slightest assistance to people smugglers. They don't give a
fuck about anything except being paid by their customers. There customers
are, now, obviously fuckwits - who in their right mind would pay a lot of
money, leave Indonesia, and risk their lives on a trip that ends in PNG?

I'll give you a hint. You have clearly never been involved in classified
operations, and you don't have a clue. As evidence from you (lack of)
understanding you posted above.

Hmmm. You are wrong again. Not only wrong, but woefully ignorant about the
responsibility of a democratically elected government to inform the people
about what it is doing. This isn't about the secrecy of a Mickey Mouse
naval exercise. It's about the people being denied information by its
government. For myself, I don't give a damn about asylum seekers seeking to
come from Indonesia by boat, or people smugglers. I do care about a
government refusing to give ordinary information to the people.

You are hardly in any position to determine what is classified and what
isn't. This is clearly evident from your obvious ignorance of classified
military operations. There is stuff from 30 years ago that would make
the hair curl of those "we have a right to know everything" types like
yourself. And it's a good thing too. There's enough storms in teacups
from you lot as it is. We will continue to keep you in the dark as to
their very existence.

You have no idea what the navy is doing (because its classified) yet you
claim that there's no reason for it to be classified.

You're an idiot.

Look at the ABC news, you stupid fuckwit. That will tell you what the navy
is doing. None of it needed to be classified ie kept secret from the
Australian public. You must be incorrigibly stupid.

It's been stopped for some time - the asylum seekers don't get here. They
haven't been getting here for some time. If they attempt it, they end up in
PNG. That's been on the ABC news for a while. It's not humane. No-one
ever said it was. Well, a stupid fuckwit like you might, but no-one gives a

And it's what kiddies say after watching too many spy movies. Anybody
who has *actually* been involved in classified matters of significance
would know the appropriate response to a wannabe cretin wanting to stick

Can you think of a military campaign in the last 20 years when there
were no embedded journalists? Clearly, there was not a journalist
present on every encounter with the "enemy" but in this trivial
operation that would have been easy to arrange.

Especially Operation Sovereign Borders, where no-one says anything. Except
the bits that are all over the Indonesian media, and the Australian media
via mobile phone. And the refusal by the navy to even investigate the clear
allegation of abuse - it might be bullshit, but there is an unqualified
obligation on the navy to investigate it and publish a report.

On the other hand, you're a fucking idiot who doesn't understand such basic
requirements.

You silly twot, Sovereign Borders isn't top secret - read the
