At least the current leadership and erstwhile luminaries of Labor are working overtime to lobby the Singapore leadership to grant clemency to Van Nguyen. Both Bob Hawke and Gough Whitlam are amongst prominent Australians to call on Singapore to put its house in order and stop the barbarism of the mandatory death penalty for drug smuggling.
Read the article in The Age.
Meanwhile our glorious leader runs around the planet trying to convince us that he really is compassionate and caring, playing cricket with the kiddies in Pakistan and supervising army medico administered needle jabs. He has criticised those who are desperately trying to influence Singapore in these final days to stop this horror. He refuses to raise the issue at CHOGM, he refuses to draw on the broader bilateral relationship to get leverage and he is fulsome in his statements (with his sad face on) that it is a lost cause. What a man!!!
