Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbot had to distance himself from his Liberal Party ally Mark Textor following the adviser's insensitive comments on the Indonesian foreign minister, multiple sources reported on Thursday.

Textor, who served as the Liberal Party's campaign strategist, drew the flak of the opposition and the Indonesian Government after likening Indonesian foreign minister Marty Natelegawa to a '1970s Filipino Porn Star.'

Textor reportedly made this derogatory statement on Twitter in the wake of cooling relationship between Indonesia and Australia following the expose of US Intelligence fugitive Edward Snowden, who accused the Australian Government of spying by wiretapping telephone calls of the Indonesian president, the first lady and some of its cabinet members in 2009.

"Apology demanded from Australia by a bloke who looks like a 1970's Pilipino (sic) porn star and has ethics to match," said Textor, who later removed the Tweet.

Severing the Damage

According to Labor opposition foreign affairs spokesperson Tanya Plibersek, Textor's comment will further inflict more damage on the relationship of Australia and Indonesia. She even asked the Australian prime minister to keep his distance from the issue along with his liberal adviser.

"Frankly I was quite shocked. They're highly inappropriate comments, I'm pleased to be told they've now been taken off the Twitter feed," she told reporters.

"The prime minister must disassociate himself, the Liberal Party, and the Australian government from them immediately and unequivocally," said Plibersek

Malcolm Fraser, former Australian prime minister, admitted that he was appalled by Textor's comment and even asked Abbot to immediately dismissed his advisor from his duty.

"Clearly he's a close confidant of the Liberal party and it says quite a lot about what they think in those back rooms," she told the ABC via InterAksiyon.

"This sort of tweet will be seen as just further inflaming the situation, particularly because of the close relationship between Mark Textor and the prime minister and the Liberal party in general."

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has already undertaken several policy to show their protest against the Australian Government, including the suspension of military exercises, intelligence exchanges and other cooperation programs in a number of sensitive areas.

Yudhoyono, who already recalled its ambassador from Australia recently, criticized Abbot over the spying scandal. Abbot, on the other hand, already made a statement regarding the latest controversy that rocked his administration.

"I want to express here in this chamber, my deep and sincere regret about the embarrassment to the president and to Indonesia that's been caused by recent media reporting," Mr Abbott said via the Australian.

Fight Australia

On Wednesday, thousands of protesters gathered in Yogyakarta and demanded a public apology from the Aussie prime minister. They also showed their deep hate against the Australian government by burning the Australian flag.

''Our people are furious, our country is insulted. Fight Australia,'' chanted dozens of students as they demonstrated at a university campus on Wednesday.
