Moral Hierarchy

At last, Indonesians recognise the importance of executive non-interference:
Indonesia's ambassador to Australia, Hamzah Thayeb, agreed respect for each others laws was crucial to the ongoing relationship between Australia and Indonesia.
Of course there's non-interference and there's non-interference.

And there are countries that don't extradite to Australia, or vice versa.

And if a man with joint culpability for the death of your child was sitting in a town in the middle of such a country preaching medievil hatred, a porous country with a hundred different potential entry and exit points, what would you do?

And if you did, what would the federal government do?

Almost makes you wish an American had been killed in Bali. Chances are a snatch would occur, whether it be lead by a government team (unlikely), or a dodgy bounty hunter.

What would our government do? They'd bend over to take it from the Indons once more, changing policies so as to not upset them.

I suspect it's a moot point whether the Indonesians are watching him. Spies of various Western nations will be keeping a close eye on the bastard.
