of myths, legends and sheep...Indonesia has delivered a rebuke to Tony Abbott's turn-back-the-boats policy, signing a communique warning against unilateral action.
stop the bullshit ....Abbott's views on foreign policy are rarely discussed, but he seems to retain a Bush administration perspective on the world – 'you're either with us or against us'
the confusing angel dust...From the AAI website: On Wednesday, Pope Francis addressed people from all walks of life by claiming that anyone who does ‘good’ will go to heaven, even atheists.

down by a billabong ....Two resurrections in one week are hard to get your head around.
