"PM's vow: we'll get the bastards
By Tom Allard and Mark Baker
October 21 2002




Australia stands ready to fight in a worldwide war on terrorism, including any military action against Iraq, "in the name of the scores of Australians who were killed in Bali", the Prime Minister, John Howard, pledged yesterday.

Mr Howard said fighting the war on terrorism at home was the "first priority" amid the risk of a Bali-style terrorist attack on Australian soil, but it was not the only priority.

"I can't understand how anybody could argue that you can respond adequately, in the name of the scores of Australians who were killed in Bali, without being part of the worldwide war against terror," Mr Howard said.

Mr Howard's determination to track down those responsible for the Bali tragedy was also highlighted during a private meeting in Kuta on Friday with relatives of the victims of the attack.

Phil Burchett, the father of one of the missing, Jared Gane, revealed that Mr Howard had hugged him and said:

"We'll get the bastards who did this." "

I was watching a documentary the other night called "The Ship" about the recreation of Captain Cook's voyage using a replica ship "Endeavor".  Volunteers from America, Canada, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand crewed the boat.  The recreation took place during 2001, and after the Sept. 11 tragedy, the ship had to alter its course due to political turmoil in Jakarta - its original destination.  Its new destination? Bali, because it was thought that the island was safer than Jakarta.

Was that the ship with the cross-dressing captain fiasco?
