You've tried that one before. It has zero relevance. All you have to is read it to know that.

Thank goodness they've done all that training.

Like I said this is not a job for the RAAF and the Navy, it is a job for loud mouthed scumbag socialist; I would be more than happy for tax dollars goimng to fund you dickheads to go out and do the job 'properly'.

But as we all know, people like yourself, don't actually do anything except used their acutely honed 20 / 20 hindsight to critisize the efforts of people actually do the sh1t work no one else wants to.

You are one of those loud mouthed idiots, your opinions like your life, are irrelevant and pointless. Angry

Thanks for sharing your opinion...

in·teg·ri·ty [in-teg-ri-tee] Show IPA

noun

1.

adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.

2.

the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished: to preserve the integrity of the empire.

3.

a sound, unimpaired, or perfect condition: the integrity of a ship's hull.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Origin:
1400–50; late Middle English integrite < Latin integritās. See integer, -ity

Synonyms
1. rectitude, probity, virtue. See honor.

Antonyms
1. dishonesty.

Why have I put this up here?

Well it seems to me that this word "integrity" is the key to having the honour and esteem that many claim that our Navy deserves.

Well, part of integrity is about being transparent and being above reproach. Is that our Navy? Hardly, given the history of abuse and assaults on new recruits etc etc.

The service does, at least now days, endeavour to address these situations, but, to be completely blunt, it still has a fair way to go.

Anyone who says that any of our services, forces, representative or even individuals is above being investigated for anything seriously needs a big dose of integrity because you are sadly lacking.

I realise that many will either not understand this or want to rail against it, let me just say, that of itself would speak volumes about your own integrity.

What has been done completely wrong in ALL of this, has been the lack of transparency and these repeated incursions into Indonesian waters, were, as pointed out, an opportunity for increased transparency. That opportunity was thrown on the ground and spat on, either by the Navy or by the Government. Take your pick, but either way, our Navy and our Government presently are not demonstrating having integrity. That is something that can never be taken for granted.

Aussie, sometimes the great unwashed gather outside a police station waiting to abuse some person being accused of rape or murder being taken away from court in a police van. They sing out 'hang the bastard' and 'bring back the death penalty' and if they get close enough they thump the side of the police van. The legal club steps in and condemns such action as typical of rednecks. "Let the law take its course" and "the legal system will handle the matter" are the usual things said by members of the legal club. Those calling for the death penalty will be depicted as a mob of uninformed hysterical goons.

If the Australian Navy has breached the law of the sea I'm sure the legal club will step in with its usual hubris and announce that the "law will deal with the Navy".

Stop behaving like a redneck.

Time to have the whiney b1tch socialist do this job and free the poor bastard navy to do the job they enlisted for.

This is a bullsh1t job and well below the dignity of the navy, time to let these enthusiastic socialist spend time away from freinds and family for weeks on end to deal with these people; and not to necessarily have an 'open door' policy either but to prevent them from killing themselves at sea and secure our borders as the government wants

That would make everyone happy, especially the bleeding heart socialist who would want to this type of work, since they complain bitterly about everone else.

Ahhh except socilaist never actually do anything but complain about everyone else and are generally too lazy or too stupid to be part of the solution. too bad a good oportunity missed

free the poor bastard navy to do the job they enlisted for.

You think that people join the navy to mistreat refugees, to deliberately breach international laws and the sovereignty of our neighbours ??

I would think they are ashamed of the political manner in which they are being used.

Yes, it must be terrifying for them.

You really think a six year-old is going to intimidate an adult member of the Navy?

All that means is that the Indonesians have no jurisdiction on our naval ships ...they cannot enforce their local laws on our boats

it does not mean our ships can go into their territory whenever they wish.

They can start in the countries where the people feel so unsafe they have to leave.
