  • DEBATES – Wednesday 9 May 2018 3890 It Seems
    DEBATES – Wednesday 9 May 2018 It seems to be an extraordinary coincidence that the oil and gas reserves are between the two countries. I think that tells us we need to work things out together, not compete for it. How can we mutually benefit from this great resource? Do not forget that if we work this out well between East Timor and northern Australia— those reserves extend further into Indonesia. Indonesia is in need of energy just as we are. The three of us could work it out. There are opportunities for the Northern Territory to position itself well to provide support across the line so we can all benefit from this and open up. If we do that and cooperate, we could all end up in a far better position. There is much to be gained if we work together on this. I am happy to report to members who have an interest in this. I will have further meetings with government tomorrow to see how we progress this. I would like to see more detail about how the Arafura Games could be used to add some greater definition to this particular project, because this project of building a stronger commercial case for better aviation services in the region will be supported if we have a strong focus on the trilateral. Canberra will note it if we are proactive in this. Jakarta will recognise it as well. We need Jakarta and we need Canberra, and the way to do that is to show that we are finding creative ways to work together whether it is through education, the Chamber of Commerce in Eastern Indonesia, or seeking advice of the Australia Indonesia Business Council.
