Re: OT : Australian intervention in Solomon Islands
The Australian press is now having a field day.
I'm not sure if any of their stories are true but we are getting reports such as :-
"A SI resident whose car that was stolen by militants months ago has woken up this morning to find that they returned it. He wishes to thank the Australian troops for scaring the thief into returning his car".
Also there is also a lot of talk about the corruption in the SI police force, with a video showing a number of policy officers beating up a suspect in the jail.
Keep us updated Deccan.

Re: OT : Australian intervention in Solomon Islands
The Honorable Alexander Downer MP. Title: Minister for Foreign Affairs. Party: Liberal Party of Australia
I didn't think many people would know who Alexander Downer was.
I asked the question before who knew the Australian Prime Minister's name, and no-one replied.

That was in the local newspaper as well but it said the source was someone speaking anonymously. I don't personally know anyone who's had that happen. Just yesterday, I had my (Ozzie) lawyer call me up and say, "Hey, I heard someone's trying to return some vehicles to you guys." and I was like "Duh, like I wish."
I do know that certain high-placed people in the civil service are under investigation for corruption. Serves 'em right too. |
