Not at all.  Why do you ask?

If I manufacture a car and it runs down an old lady on the street... does that mean I am responsible?

Now this entire game may be one of shadow blinds and cut-outs... plausible deniability... but unless you can prove direct involvement, there is no case to answer and anyone who offers to aggressively and even physically confront a head of state over such an unfounded idea is guilty of common assault.

Now get it right.....

How out of touch are our politicians with mainstream Australia?

I can see Tony groveling to Putin and saying:-

"It was just a turn of phrase like being a 'recalcitrant' was, like all the posturing with Indonesia over 'people trafficking' while we deal back door, and you understand it was only in the spirit of keeping my people happy in thinking I am a strong Stalinist leader"....

"Tovarisch!  We are on same page!  This I am understanding."

...(said Putin)

What a load of cods (not you, dear)
