Posts this Week: Politicians' Sexual Impunity, Mt Kelud's Disastrous Impact, Car Manufacturing Industry can Improve

Please read the following articles for insight into current issues affecting Australia and Indonesia today:

"Sex, Lies, and Politicians," By Edward Aspinall, February 2014. While celebrities get gaol time for their sex tape scandals, rarely does a politician receive the same punishment for their equally sordid film productions.

"East Java Nightmare as Mt Kelud Ash Continues to Blanket Towns," By Lauren Gumbs, February 2014. The latest volcanic eruption has caused airports and cities to shut down as residents try to breathe and work out the losses. After having spent last year in beautiful Malang I am half relieved and half aghast at the news of the disaster.

"Navel-Gazing won't Save our Car Components and Manufacturing Industries," By Ross B. Taylor, February 2014. Why not take this opportunity to establish a partnership with Indonesia?

And check out these links to other important news:

Indonesia gritted its teeth when two orange lifeboats turned up on its shores, but reports that Australia's warships intruded into sovereign waters once again is 'unacceptable.'

It can no longer be ignored: Indonesia's violent past is being thrust into the spotlight despite the efforts of certain groups to keep the truth in the dark.

 I spy with my little Defence Signals Directorate... Indonesians going about their business...? More spying revelations, this time of a broader scope.
