Infrequent Visitor

The National Nine News carries an AP story in which Australian Defence Minister Robert Hill labels Cambodia as a “weak link” and a long-term issue in the region’sbid to counter terrorism.

Senator Hill this week made a three-nation tour that takes in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.

Perhaps most interesting is that his visit to Vietnam was the first by an Australian defence minister since 1973, and the first by an Australian defence minister to Cambodia. His comments were then made during the Thailand leg of the tour.

Now if a guest was to visit your home for the first time in 32 years, (in deed for the first time ever) would you take seriously any views expressed a side-window that might be easy to open?

And what would be your reaction if you only heard about the comment after the visit, and through a neighbour?
