Please, don't judge us all by our government!
Considering Australia's actions over the last couple of days, anyone would be well within their rights to write us all off as a "rogue state".
Bear in mind that not all Australians support our government's actions, and think that the situation with the Tampa is despicable. Especially the use of soldiers against civilians and the effective piracy we have committed against Norway.
For any Norwegians on the list - let me apologise on behalf of the "non-red-necked" half of Australia.
I am utterly ashamed to be an Australian at present.
