Indonesia gives Rudd nothing to stop the boats Kevin Rudd got nothing from Indonesia to tackle people smuggling. Indonesia's president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, simply offered another conference of countries which were both the source and transit countries for asylum seekers en route to Australia. Trouble is, we already have just such a thing - the Bali process. But President Yudhoyono said this conference would be more about "action," which suggests the Bali conference is not. Which means Australia was offered only a conference like the other conference only pretends to be. The problem is that the only help Indonesia really can give is the help Rudd didn't ask for. Help to turn back the boats.
