Julie Bishop has asked the Cambodian Government to take asylum seekers from Australia (''Cambodia 'solution' sought'', February 23).
She also said Australia is giving Cambodia $85 million in aid this year.
Such aid will end up in the pockets of Cambodians but not the pockets of the poor and oppressed people.
I am dumbfounded, sending poor wretched people to a country full of poor wretched and oppressed people is beyond my comprehension and I still remember Bishop and her party's indignation of the previous government's Malaysia deal.
To me this is the work of a mean, nasty and spiteful government.
