Indonesia is overjoyed by Sociopath Morrison's announcement.

The Australian posted:

JAKARTA has officially warned Canberra of its �strong concern� over new restrictions on resettling refugees from Indonesia and their risk to the bilateral relationship.

Ambassador Greg Moriarty was called in to the Indonesian Foreign Ministry yesterday to hear the government�s objections to the ban announced by Immigration Minister Scott Morrison on Australia resettling any refugees from Indonesia who had registered as asylum-seekers since July 1.

The Australian Government has also reduced the annual quota of refugees for resettlement from Indonesia from 600 to 450.

Asia-Pacific division director Yuri Thamrin, �conveyed our strong concern over Australia�s unilateral policy�, a Foreign Ministry official confirmed today.

He called for Australia to return to dealing with asylum-seekers as a regional problem, through the multilateral Bali Process.

Mr Yuri was acting on the instructions of President Joko Widodo�s new Foreign Minister, Retno Marsudi.

Ms Retno earlier publicly criticised the new restrictions, which Mr Morrison said were intended to discourage asylum-seekers continuing to arrive in Indonesia in the hope of obtaining Australia resettlement visas.

Ms Retno said she had warned Julie Bishop at their G20 meeting last weekend �learn from past experiences� to follow policies �that did not impact bilateral relations of the two countries�.

This is understood to be a reference to their serious falling-out at the end of last year, over Australian spying on then president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the Australians turning back boatloads of asylum-seekers to Indonesia.

�Indonesia and Australia are neighbouring countries; therefore, it is a must for us to have and maintain good bilateral relations,� she told the Jakarta Post.

Indonesia currently has about 10,500 UN-registered foreign asylum-seekers and refugees.

Despite the halting of the boatpeople traffic between Indonesia and Australia since January, UNHCR Indonesia has this year registered more than 3200 asylum seekers, mostly new arrivals from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq.

THE OFFICIAL 2014 AUSPOL SECRET SANTA GIFT EXCHANGE :siren:

We're going to send each other gifts this Christmas because it's a nice thing to do for people you spend the rest of the year telling to kill they are selves.

Here's how it's going to go down.

Between now and 30 November: I will collect information from everyone who wants to participate.
1 December: I will make random selections of santa and santee and email each participating goon with their gift recipient
15 December: ALL GIFTS MUST BE POSTED BY THIS DATE - THIS GIVES YOU TWO WEEKENDS TO GO SHOPPING
25 DECEMBER: EVERYONE OPENS PRESENTS AND EVERYONE IS HAPPY

I want to participate. What do I do?

Send an email to auspolsecretsanta@gmail.com with the following details:

1. What is your User ID
2. What is your email address
3. What colors do you like
4. What is your favourite food
5. Do you collect anything
6. What is your style? (i.e. country, victorian, punk, shits in the ground like an animal)
7. What is your mailing address for your package? (I, COQ, WILL KEEP THIS VERY SECURE AND DESTROY AFTER WE'RE DONE)
8. Are you willing to mail a package to Canada/America/England/Wherever Soag lives?

If you send me an email without this quiz filled in, I will send it back to you with red pen through it and tell you to do it properly.

What's the budget?
$30. As Mad Katter puts it, that should be enough to do something worthwhile.

That should about cover it. In the event of any issues, I'll consult with the dark council of Auspol elders and render judgement. If anyone fails to deliver a present, you will be named and shamed.

I think that about covers it! Happy to answer questions if they come up.

No it's been hot as gently caress all day and we both want to wonder around while it's cooler and pick up some ballin' food somewhere but maybe not near goons.

EDIT: Also she only goes to nerdy-like meetups if there's Mario Kart but there isn't unless this is the best Indian in the world with a built in arcade or some poo poo.

It's strange because I could swear when this new policy was announced it was also reported that Indonesia had been informed of the policy change and were 100% on board with the policy. Is this a lie?

That goon meet sounds awesome by the way, aside from the state you're all in. You all have my condolences. I assume the night ends with some kind of suicide pact? Get out of Queensland before Christmas or die.

Wait wait wait...Anidav is a real person? He's not just some running fictional example of bad and/or illegal workplace practices? He's not an account being run by someone at Fair Work Australia to practice writing examples for their brochures?

"Anidav is asked to come in for a trial. He works for two hours and is told that he will be called back if he is required. He is not paid for this work. This is illegal. He should contact the ombudsman..." etc etc.
