The man on the ground always knows more than the supports in the stands.
If your facts are acurate (and I'm not saying they aren't) than the Oz govt needs to chill a bit...

What I have heard is the civil unrest in the Solomans, and that the Oz government wants to "ensure peace in the region", because the SI would "become a haven for money laundering, drug trafficking and a terrorist hide-out".

Of course, I'm just stating what I have read in the newspapers.
What have you seen and what are the thoughts of the people in the Solomans?
