How best can Timor-Leste protect and use en its oil revenue to provide sustainable development? What kind of agriculture policies are appropriate in a post conflict society that suffers food shortages and malnutrition? What is the role of civil society in a newly independent country with a history of Q) violence? How can cooperation between Timor-Leste and Australia be more effective?

    Submission No 59 Inquiry into Australia’s Relationship with Timor-Leste Name: Mr Luke Gosling Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Foreign Affairs Sub-Committee Submission to the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee Inquiry into Australia's relationship with Timor-Leste Luke Gosling, Darwin NT 1. Bilateral relations at the parliamentary and government levels; Our deep relationship with Timor-Leste goes back to the Second World War where a group of Australian Commandos with the help of the Timor-Leste people operated from late 1941 until late 1942. The Timorese people suffered greatly, with at least as many civilian casualties as our Forces suffered in the entire War. For a small population that loss was huge. The Commandos and their Timor-Leste colleagues conducted a classic guerilla Warfare campaign against the Japanese Imperial Forces and a unique bond was formed that was covered in a film I co-produced, screened on Channel 9, called ”A Debt of Honor”. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofAK6roD4dY&feature=youtu.be&noredirect=1) The title came from a comment by General Peter Cosgrove, Commander of the Australian-led International Force for East Timor (INTERFET), that our intervention was in part repayment of that debt of honor from World War II. Our ongoing relationship with Timor-Leste is an essential one and one that is taken very seriously and taken to heart by people in Darwin, Palmerston and the Top End. The Parliamentary Friends of Timor-Leste group plays an important role in navigating a course for our relationship that connects and strengthens our bonds with our good neighbors and friends in Timor-Leste and the work of ALP International has similarly been providing an important link through capacity building for better governance and more transparent processes in Timor-Leste political parties.
  • Development and Its Discontents: the Indonesian Government, Indonesian Opposition, and the Occupation of East Timor

    Development and Its Discontents: the Indonesian Government, Indonesian Opposition, and the Occupation of East Timor

    Development and its Discontents: The Indonesian Government, Indonesian Opposition, and the Occupation of East Timor M. Scott Selders Based on a section of M. Scott Selders, “Patterns of Violence: Narratives of Occupied East Timor from Invasion to Independence, 1975-1999” (MA thesis, Concordia University, 2008). IAGS 9th Biennial Conference, Buenos Aires, July 2011 In 1974, decolonization began in Portugal’s colony of East Timor.1 In December 1975, this process was curtailed by neighboring Indonesia’s invasion, after which President Suharto’s New Order regime imposed a brutal occupation lasting until 1999. Between 1974 and 1999, it is estimated that over 100,000, and possibly as many as 183,000, East Timorese perished.2 The Indonesian government justified the invasion by reminding its Western allies of the Suharto regime’s staunch anti-Communism and by arguing that East Timor’s small size, poverty, and underdevelopment meant it was not a viable independent country.3 Consequently, after 1975, one of Indonesia’s main justifications for the occupation was that it was balancing the neglect of the Portuguese colonial administration by modernizing East Timor and the Timorese. This paper examines a sample of this development rhetoric from the 1980s. It also shows that such rhetoric was not universally accepted, even within Indonesia, as evidenced by two Indonesian sources from the early 1990s that directly question and contradict the Indonesian government’s civilizing claims. The Indonesian provenance of these 1 Standard surveys include Jill Jolliffe, East Timor: Nationalism and Colonialism (St. Lucia: University of Queensland Press, 1978); John G.

Deo Contact: [email protected] 1231 Scarlet Drive 6/A, Vrindavan (2) C.H.S. Addison, IL 60101 Panchavati, Pashan Road U.S.A. Pune (M.S.) – 411008, INDIA Font: Geneva Size: 12 pt Editing : Deepak S. Deo Cover and Sketches : Vikas S. Deo, Usha Deo 2 This book is dedicated to my wife Usha and our three sons Deepak, Vikas and Sagar. Also dedicated to the Life Energy that enables us to soak up vast amount of information and impressions from our environment to enhance our vision. Through self introspection, the information gradually condenses into wisdom that enables us to discover ourselves in the dynamics of the ever changing universe. 3 Introduction Holdall was an older version of the modern sleeping bag. Stitched out of canvas, it was commonly used in India for travel. Symbolically, Holdall is the flexible storage of personal experiences during the journey of life. It also represents a global village platform to give an all-inclusive dimension to a thought. It is not the intent of this book to prove or negate any thought, but rather to represent those thoughts that are readily understood and acceptable to everyone, irrespective of ethnic origin. It is these thoughts, when embraced by the global village, that become self enriching experiences for us all. With the opportunity to experience this ever changing and wondrous life, some thoughts progressively surface. Simply intellectualizing a thought often raises more questions.
