  According to Joe Collins of AWPA the issue of West Papua will not disappear and human rights abuses by Indonesian authorities are continuing.Observer status has already been accorded to the people of Kanaky (New Caledonia) represented bythe Front de Libération National Kanak et Socialiste (FLNKS), and Collins asks why not grant similar status to the people of West Papua.

  Australia West Papua Association spokesperson Joe Collins expressed grave concerns at the proposed new security treaty with Indonesia and in particular at the Indonesian demand for a clause in the treaty urging Canberra to reject West Papuan claims for independence.
  
  "The West Papuan people have a right to choose their own future.The UN states that "all peoples have the right to self-determination" and Australia appears to deny this right to the West Papuan people.
  
  Joe Collins said "there is too much secrecy about this proposed security treaty.

  Joe Collins of the Australia West Papua Association (AWPA) said today in Sydney ,it is definitely not in the interests of the West Papuan people for the US or Australia to be training the Indonesian military".
  
  Numerous reports have documented the involvement of the Indonesian military in illegal activities including illegal logging, rigged construction projects and theft of aid and human rights abuses.Joe Collins of AWPA said that the Australian Government believes that the professionalism of the Australian military will have a positive effect on the TNI but ,while such entrenched practices continue, it is highly unlikely that the professionalism of the Australian military will have any influence on the TNI.
  ...
  Mr Collins said.
  
  "If Indonesia has really introduced democratic reforms, why is there a ban on the media visiting West Papua?AWPA calls on both the US and Australian governments to urge the Indonesia Government to lift the ban on journalists visiting West Papua and to urge the Indonesian Government to allow access to the United Nations Special Rapporteur for the Prevention of Genocide on a fact finding mission to West Papua.
  
  As to the recent statement by the Australian ambassador to the United States Dennis Richardson, (presumably with DFAT,s approval) that "Papua is part of the sovereign territory of Indonesia and always has been", this must come as a surprise to the West Papuan people.The "Jakarta lobby" pushed the same line about East Timor. ,Instead of burying its head in the sand as it did over East Timor, the Australian Government should be talking with progressive elements in Indonesia to try and solve the many issues of concern in West Papua," said Mr Collins.
