By Duncan Graham, published 25/8/2016

The report compiled from 4,000 interviews and 24 focus groups was released with the heading: ‘Indonesians and Australians not so different after all’. Wrong.

Capital Punishment,Corruption,Religious Hatred
Most Islamic countries

USA capital punishment-a peaceful drug that puts them to sleep and they die humanely
more than the victims they murdered did.

Islamic capital punishment- stoning to death often for some perceived minor sexual offence.
Isis-religious hatred-cutting of the throat for the non islamic.
Corruption-The Saudi Arabs have their fingers well and truly in that pie
along with all the other global money manipulaters. They actually own some
USA BANKS.

I agree to a certain degree with your assessment of East Timor.
Although Im not sure who the aggressor was.
The indonesian army or the Timorese.
But one thing is certain, the country had certainly divided almost into
2 countries, along racial ethnic lines.

Which of course is the future of multiculturalism that refuses to blend the
bloodlines.
we see these civil wars based on ethnic division which is just fancy speak
for separate bloodlines, everywhere in conflicts around the world.

I agree that the mixing of races creates stronger more resilient races.

But I dont think the knowledge of 6% will stop wars between different
races.
Nobody goes and looks up degrees of relatedness when hostilities break out.

We automatically know who we are going to defend and fight for in times of war
and threat.
One example put forward as an example,of this.by someone,whose
name I dont recall.
Was about a white bloke who was mugged by a black bloke, who was about to
kill him, and the white boke said " dont kill me we are related.-"
The black bloke says, "What you talkin' about, white boy?"

Spot on, and worth repeating;
"Australians and Indonesians are totally different.
To suggest otherwise is blatant, dangerous cultural relativism, which has already wreaked havoc on Australian society.
We do not have to criticise cultures not like ours (they think theirs is better than ours, too), but we do not have to be in love with them; nor do we have to try to change them or live with them."

In Orwell's novel in mid-sentence Eurasia was changed from Ally to Enemy, but in reality it was Indonesia whose identity was magically changed during the months after the war. But the fact remains that Sukarno was a Axis leader supporting Japan in what he called the 'Great Asian War'; and his later war that our newspapers then misrepresented as a war of independence, was in fact a war to prevent elections and to keep Sukarno and his Generals in power.

Indonesia's military stems from the army Sukarno raised during 1944, funding itself by looting the farmers and unarmed civilians. While most people and nations since the Second World War have rejected colonialism, corruption, and genocide; the Indonesian Republic has been based on colonialism and corruption, on propaganda and has learned to embrace theft and looting whenever it benefits the Republic. If you want to be a big businessman in Indonesia, you join the military.
The cowardice of the Australian government, the refusal to admit the totalitarian nature of Indonesia is shameful.
Creating the "Australia Indonesia Institute" inside DFAT was against Australia's welfare, as has been the "Indonesia Institute:" in Western Australia. Both institutions promote a delusional fantasy about Indonesia which harms and does not help any attempt to discus the pros and cons of our international relations.
