The first use of biological terror weapons used on Australian soil? In an attack the PM links directly to the racist and xenophobic hysteria whipped up against the Indonesians for prosecuting people in posession of 4kg of schedule 1 narcotics?
Get a f***ing clue!
"Biological scare: PM appalled
Prime Minister John Howard has apologised to Indonesia after the discovery of a biological agent in an envelope sent to the Indonesian embbutty in Canberra.
Mr Howard says the substance was not benign and sending it was an act of reckless indifference to human life.
He says tests have shown the white powder sent to the embbutty is a bacteria belonging to the 'bacillus group', the family which also contains the anthrax bacteria.
"This is a deeply distressing incident, it is quite appalling and I condemn it unreservedly," Mr Howard said.
Mr Howard says it would be a remarkable coincidence if the incident is not related to the 20-year sentence given to convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby by an Indonesian court.
"If it is, can I say to those responsible - you will not achieve your objective," Mr Howard said.
"Quite apart from the liquidateous criminality of doing something like this and the indifference and contempt for human life that it displays, it won't achieve the objective. It will have the opposite effect."
Mr Howard has apologised to Indonesia and says it could do great damage to Australia's relationship with its neighbour."
Hey, Shame-us, he must just be a lefty wanker, eh! B^p
