Honest Ali the salesman
Australia and Iran will share intelligence about Australians fighting with militant groups in Iraq, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop announces.
Does she really believe they will tell the truth?

It must have been very difficult for them not to show disdain on talking to a woman at an equal level. Goes against all they stand for. JS

I think she is quite smart and did say in an interview that all information will be treble checked to make sure it is genuine. She is only the front person it is the back room boys who do all the work.

Re: Honest Ali the salesman
Same thing applies to Iran and the advancements into weapons of mass destruction. North Korea at one time had a similar agreement and allowed Inspectors into for observation. Only lasted until it suited them and then chucked out. What President was it that said publicly, which he should not have done, was the evil was in 3 countries North Korea Iran and cant remember the third one. Would rather deal with George Robey or Jock McGregor than Mid Eastern politicians. At least with them you knew you were being done. JS

Hi Braid.
China is selling six ordinary submarines to Pakistan, which means they will be able to fire their nuclear weapons from the Indian ocean, in the event of war with India. with all these idiots why was George W Bush worried by Saddam's [now known lies} weapons of destruction. Just about every country in the Far East now have the bomb. It's only time!!!!!

Half a brain John, you are too generous. Any politician with even half a brain would be unique.
