"The UN report confirms Indonesian genocide and Australia's complicity" - Story in The Age Quote from The Age: The report of the United Nations inquiry into Indonesia's brutal 24-year occupation of East Timor will come as no surprise to activists who opposed the policies of successive Australian governments, beginning in 1975, nor to the people of East Timor.
