The inquest began in February It was regarded as highly credible because it was the first inquiry to exercise judicial powers to compel the production of evidence and the testimony of witnesses. It also interviewed key new witnesses, examined and summarised intelligence information, reviewed the evidence from previous inquiries and evaluated any inconsistencies in their findings. The inquest called 66 witnesses, including a dozen East Timorese who had originally fought on the Indonesian side. The Deputy Coroner found that the journalists could not have been and were not mistaken for combatants. In addition, they clearly identified themselves as Australians and as journalists. They were unarmed and dressed in civilian clothes. They all had their hands raised in the universally recognised gesture of surrender. The five corpses were dressed in military uniforms, guns placed beside them, and photographs taken in an attempt to portray them as legitimate targets. A number of Australian intelligence records have also been declassified. The first of these enclaves would be established around the strategic town of Maliana. The operation would be undeclared — Indonesia wanted to deny it was involved. If the had obtained film footage of Indonesia's military campaign and conveyed it to the outside world, the cover story would have been blown. Australian intelligence reported that the Indonesian high command was very alarmed at the killing of the five foreign journalists. Worried about the international diplomatic consequences, they called a halt to the military operation. Their concern about a negative international reaction, combined with their own logistical problems and the onset of the wet season, led to nearly five weeks of inactivity as they waited to see what the reaction would be. But there was no adverse reaction from Australia, Britain or New Zealand. This was the real 'green light'. The lack of international condemnation at the killing of five foreign journalists meant that the Indonesian military could treat the East Timorese as they wished. And that is what they did. The consequences for the East Timorese people were horrific. They died in large numbers, often in appalling ways. The Balibo Five were not the last journalists to die at the hands of the Indonesian military. The Balibo Declaration , which criticised the declaration of independence and was later used by the Indonesian government as partial justification for its invasion, was said to have been signed here but was actually drafted by Indonesian intelligence and signed in Bali , Indonesia. performed an unplugged concert in Balibo to entertain United Nations troops in , as part of the Tour of Duty series of concerts.

Balibo is a Australian war film that follows the story of the Balibo Five , a group of journalists who were captured and killed while reporting on activities just prior to the Indonesian invasion of East Timor of While historically accurate, the film is loosely based on the book Cover-Up by , an Australian journalist who met the men before they were killed. The film follows dishevelled journalist Roger East , played by Anthony LaPaglia , who travels to East Timor in to investigate the deaths of the Balibo Five during the buildup to the Indonesian invasion of East Timor. Filming began on 30 June , in , East Timor , [3] and the film was released the following year. It was produced by Arenafilm in Australia with as director , David Williamson as screenwriter , and Professor as historical consultant. The film started when an Australian journalist interviewed a woman named Juliana, who as a young girl witnessed Roger East 's capture and execution by the Indonesian invasion force. The point of view goes first on Roger East's investigation upon the imminent Indonesian invasion of East Timor. Also, he investigates the fate of the Balibo Five , who was in Balibo covering the events in the area. Then the story interchanges between Roger East's attempted investigation upon the fate of the Five, and the Five's events in the area, and some of Juliana's story on the journo. Roger was with Jose Ramos- Horta as his bodyguard along the way, evading Indonesian patrols and seeing villages with massacred inhabitants, and also settled their arguments between Roger's insistence of knowing the truth and Jose's hesitance to assist such a risky move. They painted Australia upon the building to ensure their safety, but it was nothing to Indonesian invaders. The Five is then covering the invasion, when the Indonesian soldiers chased and cornered them. One of the cameramen tried to tell the soldiers to spare them, but was shot by the officer . Then, the soldiers breached the building, killing the 3 and the surviving journo was captured and repeatedly stabbed to death by a bayonet. Then Roger's point of view ended when the Indonesians invade Dili with paratroopers and ground troops. He was captured with East Timorese men and Juliana watches as the men were executed by the Indonesians, women were segregated and raped, and Roger was executed by the Indonesian soldiers. The interviewer ended Juliana's interview, and she leaves while hugging a child. The film ends with the inscription that the murderers of the Balibo Five and Roger East was not put to justice and pictures from the groups, and scenes from Horta's rallies and later on, East Timorese enjoying the beach. Balibo was the first feature film to be made in East Timor. Shooting in Dili began on 31 July , with United Nations police closing off roads, to allow the scenes to be filmed. The film's version of events was validated by an Australian coroner in After a fresh review of the evidence, the coroner ruled that the journalists were executed as they tried to surrender to Indonesian forces. The filmmakers hope that Balibo will spur government into action. Almost 18 months on, it has not responded to the coroner's findings - a reticence which may stem from its fear of upsetting diplomatic relations with Jakarta. On changes over recent years in Indonesia Ramos-Horta said "It is better. Indonesian democracy today is one of the most inspiring in the south-east Asia region. Relatives of Tony Stewart held aloft a banner bearing his name which had been embroidered by East Timorese women. No one has been held accountable for the slaughter of the journalists. To this day, relevant documents are denied to the Australian public, well beyond the usual thirty-year rule. This denial conceals the true extent of Australian knowledge of the invasion, and avoids offending Indonesia for fear of economic or political repercussions. The irony of the claim cannot be missed. Australian citizens and regional neighbours clearly see government untrustworthiness in the Balibo Five atrocity and complicity with the occupation of East Timor. They see the bully-boy tactics against the weak and grovelling obeisance to the strong that then emboldened an Australian government to spy on the new but impoverished nation of Timor-Leste in for the benefit of resource companies with interests in the Timor Sea. That swindle is compounded by the current prosecutions of those who told the truth about it — former Australian intelligence officer Witness K and his lawyer Bernard Collaery. This is the spectacle of an Australian government willingly surrendering an essential component of national security — trust. Australia should not resist this trend and, indeed, should accept it as probably now the best solution. Otherwise we should have a running sore in the region poisoning relations between ourselves and the Indonesians for years to come… We should continue to remain as detached as we can from the problem and avoid becoming a party principal. In doing so, they ensured that East Timor became a running sore and that Australia could not avoid becoming a party principal. No other journalist had such a privilege, and Roger scooped everybody else. The next day, his bylines were featured front-page in most Australian newspapers, and ETNA began to be quoted. The boss in fired an angry telex to his stringer in Dili for missing the story! Within days, newspapers that had already commissioned Roger to work for them send telexes terminating his contract. Reuters mounted a campaign to discredit Roger and our agency. I remember seeing Roger visibly hurt by this setback, particularly since the back-stabbing was carried out by a fellow journalist. The Indonesian military executed him on Dili wharf in front of more than witnesses on most likely 8th December Australian diplomats protected the Indonesian military from the consequences of its actions. After the Santa Cruz massacre in November , then- Foreign Minister Gareth Evans ordered the removal of more than wooden crosses — placed as a sign of mourning — from the lawn in front of the Indonesian Embassy in . Activists kept up the pressure, and the fate of the Balibo Five remained an important mobilising tool because of the ongoing secrecy surrounding their deaths. In , Foreign Minister Gareth Evans signalled his intention to move from the Senate to the House of Representatives by contesting the seat of Holt, Victoria, in elections that were due before May Although Holt is a safe Labor seat, it had a small but energetic East Timorese community, and Senator Evans would have to mount a strong campaign to maintain the winning margin of the retiring member, Michael Duffy. As if to clear the decks, he announced an inquiry into the Balibo killings by Tom Sherman, a former Australian government solicitor. Sherman delivered his findings in He endorsed the crossfire or accidental death scenario by concluding that the killings probably occurred in circumstances of continuing fighting. Sherman's conclusions relied heavily on the testimony of one witness from Lisbon L1. It bore a striking resemblance to the version put forward in in a statement by a pro-Indonesian fighter. That pro-Indonesian fighter, Guilherme Goncalves, later disavowed the statement, and revealed that it had been written by Indonesians who had forced him to sign it. Andrew McNaughtan, an Australian medical practitioner and activist, travelled to and tried to track down the mysterious L1. It was in the course of looking for L1 that he was introduced to Lorenco Hornai, a commander of pro-Indonesian forces. Hornai informed McNaughtan that Indonesian military personnel had planned to kill the journalists so that they could not inform the world about the terror and destabilisation campaign. McNaughtan wrote a devastating critique of the Sherman Report. The journalist Hamish McDonald queried Sherman's claim that he had read all the relevant intelligence files on Balibo in one day, and criticised his reticence when it came to examining the conduct of Australian diplomats.

As with the Balibo Five episode and cover-up, the national security supposedly protected by secrecy concerning the matter is already undermined. The whole world knows we spied, lied, and are now concealing the corruption of past decision-makers. As with Balibo, Australian citizens are not safe from their own governments in thrall to greater powers or big business. Thankfully, there have been no retaliatory acts by Timorese groups or individuals, as happens too often in other parts of the world. That level of security occurs despite Australian governments. It flows from the extraordinarily forgiving nature of the Timorese people, and their friendship with the countless Australians who cringe at the greed and deceit of recent decades. Five journalists were killed 45 years ago for telling the truth, but few politicians of the time spoke up for them. Will our present politicians allow two Australian truth-tellers go to jail on their watch? Will the Australian public? Forty-five years on, secrets of the Balibo atrocity haunt Australia.
