What get's me about this is, that the Australian Government at the time (I beleive it was the Whitlam Gov't) did basically stuff all to help them.

5 Australian's killed by troops of a foreign nation, during an illigeal operation, and the Gov't of the day say's "So what, we don't care."

I guess it's kind of like Gough not returning from his holidays after Cyclone Tracey. Might have inconvieninced him slightly, seeing all these injured people in his own country. He might have to do something about it.
