Those people calling for Australia intervention into Indonesia’s domestic affairs now have an official response in a new security pact between the two countries.

“Article 2 of the document commits the signatories to not “in any manner support or participate in activities by any person or entity which constitutes a threat to the stability, sovereignty, or territorial integrity of the other party", consistent with their respective domestic laws and international obligations.

This includes those who use the countries' territory for "encouraging or committing such activities, including separatism, in the territory of the other party". The effect of Article 2 will be unambiguously to rule out support by a future Australian government for groups such as the Free Papua Movement seeking independence from Indonesia.”
