AUSTRALIA'S DEFENSE POLICY By MOSES WERROR-OPMRC INTRODUCTION ----------------------- The Australian Continent was originally inhabited by Ostralia Indigenous people, the Aboriginal Negroid tribe but has since been occupied by people, who had migrated from England and the other European countries. Australia has developed into a powerful nation in the South Pacific region, and also located in the same region is New Zealand which has two main ethnic groups which are the Maorist Indigenous people, and the Kiwis who are made up of people who also migrated from England and other European countries. The indigenous Maorist ang Aboriginal peoples have until today continued to struggle for their rights to be recognized as the original inhabitants and hence owners of the Kangoroland and kiwiland. Although the majority of Australia and New Zealand's population are of Ostralianesian descent, they are members of the South Pacific Islands Forum which originally was known as the South Pacific Commission and later South Pacific Islands Governments Forum today. West Papua/ Dutch New Guinea was one of the original members of the South Pacific Commission when it was established. Australia and New Zealand Government' s policies and lifestyle reflect a Westernised/European style without taking into account the lifestyle of the indigenous population, in many cases reflecting an arrogant approach to South Pacific leaders, As Ms Hilda Lini the PCRC Director once said "They do not follow what they agree to in meetings, as they have one foot in South Pacific and other foot in Europe." They display double identity which creates a big problem for the indigenous of the South Pacific region. In the interest of all they should forget about their European descent and build up a new identity in this region among the Pacific indigenous people to knownas Ausian and Kiwian. AUSTRALIA'S FOREIGN POLICY ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Australia's foreign policy on defense in the South Pacific and Asian Region in largely influenced by West Papua's independence struggle. Australia has developed its defense programs since Dutch relinquished her last colonial territory in the South Pacific(West Papua). It's defense strategy was developed based on a system known as:"Home base defense and Front line defense." In 1975 she successfully brought the once territory of Papua to unite with Trust territory of New Guinea to become what is now known as Papua New Guinea. PNG formed a Frontline defense base towards the north. In 1999 she supported East Timor to become independent also as part of their strategy to form a Frontline offshore base defense system. Australia has been successful in establishing her defense system but one may ask why Australia needs these defense bases? Who is enemy to Australia? Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia? Australia and Indonesia have never trusted each other eventhough Australia had supported and was one of the first countries to recognize Indonesia as an independent state in 1945. AUSTRALIA AND INDONESIA RELATIONSHIP ------------------------------------------------------------------- Again one wonders why Australia and Indonesia continue to have mistrust for each other . Australia built up her defense system due to the uncertain Indonesian political system just in case a new regime in Indonesia who is more radical against foreigners. As I was one taught " Defense should be developed during the peaceful time for use in the time of war This theory could be the basis for Australia to continue to develop her frontline defense bases. AUSTRALIA AND WEST PAPUA. ------------------------------------------------ Till today Australia remain uncertain in her support for Papuan people 's struggle eventhough there so many appeals from West Papuan and Australian people. However the Australian Government continues to play ignorance stating :" Indonesian Government is doing well in West Papua, there nothing wrong." It is interesting to note why Australia does not support New Zealand Government's latest policy to mediate between Indonesian Government and Papuan Presidium Council and leaders? Are Papuans terrorist or Extremist Jihad terrorists ? WEST PAPUA FUTURE ----------------------------------- West Papua is naturally rich with resources and many countries await the opportunity to develop the resources . Suppose China or Japan successfully take over West Papua then it will be very interesting to know what Australia's position would be. SUGGESTION -------------------- I suggest the NFIP Conference call on the Australian Government to support New Zealand Government's stand and both governments should back up AWPA Petition and International Solidarity Committee resolutionfor United Nations to review the West Papua case immediately so West Papua will be included on the United Nations Decolonization agenda list for Non Self-governance territories in this year-2003. REMINDER ----------------- The new colonialist powers tricks and policies of today is "The money makers, the richest people use today's governments to establish their empires around the world. The business and economic interest are over riding human rights resulting many indigenous people becoming dependents and slaves in their own homeland." In the case of West Papua, those countries who in 1962/69 refused to support West Papua people and supported the Indonesian militarist iron government today are benefiting from West Papuan mineral resources and some of their people families are living on blood money of West Papua people killed by KOPASUS(the elite Indonesian commandos). The NFIP 9th conference's Theme: " Economic Empowerment for Good Governance and Human Rights" should be benefial to the indigenouspeople if not it will be used by those Money Makers for their own benefit and the people will be remained slaves on their own homeland. NFIP NEEDS ------------------- NFIP needs strong support from member countries of the South Pacific Forum as NFIP representative of the indigenous peoples and the first nations peoples, to develop its campaign strategies for better governance and human rights in this region for South Pacific Indigenous people. CONCLUSION. ---------------------- To conclude, the OPM United Party and People of West Papua are prepared to host the NFIP 10th Conference in Numbay/Hollandia the Capital of the United States of Papua/USP in 2006 or in earliest day as possible. ends © Copyright 1999-2002.
