The faff about Death penalty ....

[minestrone]

Tony Abbot doesn't seem to be Australian?

He is as Australian as the 2 people who were shot but the implication was that people of Asian extraction are seem less Australian that someone of European extraction.

Right. So you weren't confused and thought that that Welsh woman, Julia Gillard, was still their prime minister then?

Yes, yes. Everyone involved in the drugs trade is forced into it. No-one does it for the money.

I didn't say everyone. But it's pretty common so pointing out they were stupid comments was worthwhile.

Much of the time, the people making the real money aren't the ones handling the drugs, let alone travelling with them.

Have you read any details of this case, and who these people were, in terms of their roles in the drug trade?

[d000hg]

What have the details of this case got to do with the comments I quoted?

"Smuggle these drugs and risk getting caught and shot, or I'll shoot you. Tell anyone, and I'll shoot your family".

Chan and Sukumaran were the organisers of the deal they were caught for. They instigated, planned and gave instructions to the others. The others, by the way, who were not sentenced to death. Generally the death sentence is given to those who lead the plots, with prison sentences given to others involved, especially if they can show mitigating circumstances.

Isn't that less racist, as it implies they're less likely to be related to criminals than if they were more Australian

[darmstadt]

Both the Australian citizens do not seem to be "australian".

Probably got made citizens after going through the immigration points scheme that Ukip bang on about

[FatLazyContractor]

What a bunch of racist bastards !
