Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
We need more leaders like this. This whole thing came about because of Putin's lack of dialogue or action regarding the dead Australians on the Malaysian airliner that was shot down.
Interesting all the negative responses to his comments. I had not heard shirtfront used that way before.
Thirty eight Australians died in the Malaysian airline disaster. Either Russians or Russian backed rebels shot it down. Calls to Putin garnered no response. Abbott called for banning Putin from coming to Australia for the G-20 but he was told that he could not do that as the decision was up to the G-20 commitee. (Bad idea)
PM Abbott is sticking up for Australia as he should.
