  6. Indonesia threatens Australia over Papuan refugees (April 2006) http://www.australian-news.com.au/Papua.htm Indonesia's belligerence towards Australia was again on display when 43 West Papuan refugees in a dugout canoe washed up on Cape York last January and demanded asylum, claiming they were fleeing a brutal, repressive regime in their home country. Australian immigration officials assessed that they faced real danger if returned to Indonesia, and granted them temporary protection visas. The Indonesian government immediately demanded the refugees be returned to Indonesia. Prime Minister Howard initially stood up to the Indonesian bullying, refusing to interfere in the immigration process.

  7. Howard buckled under the pressure. In a craven act of appeasement, he quickly changed immigration procedures to force all asylum seekers entering Australia by boat to be sent to offshore islands so as not to be subject to normal immigration procedures. John Howard should be utterly ashamed. He is prepared to leave the people of West Papua to their fate at the hands of the brutal Indonesian military and rampaging militias just to appease the dictatorial Indonesian government. Howard is taking the wrong line in supporting Indonesia at all costs. This cowardly action abandons one and half million indigenous Papuans to a regime of repression, rape torture and poverty and, according to Papuan leaders, genocide. The Papuans 43-year struggle against the Indonesian military has claimed more than 100,000 lives according to both Amnesty International and the University of Sydney's Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies. The Javanese empire never had a legitimate claim to West Papua. When the Dutch withdrew from Papua in 1962, Indonesian troops moved in and took control. Since then the Javanese have moved in one million Muslims to overwhelm the Melanesian population. In a repeat of the murderous militias in East Timor, there are claims the Indonesian military in Papua is arming and supporting militant Muslim militias. Papua New Guinea Catholic bishop Giles Cote whose diocese borders Papua, said Muslim extremists from The Philippines and Sulawesi were entering Papua to fight supporters of the Free Papua Movement (OPM).
