There will be lots more of this as relations between the two countries deteriorates over the refugee issue. Australia has been turning back refugees at sea often in or near Indonesian waters and many end up in Indonesia who doesn't want them any more than the Aussies.

Wish that they would do that in the US rather than open the place up to anyone and then let the same stay even if they don't have legal standing. As far as forcing them down no problem should have had the proper clearance. With the way things are around the world we are going to see more of this its happened around WADC several times.
