From michaelwest.com.au: Australian government censorship is exposed regarding the official history of its operations in East Timor, particularly during and after the 1999 independence referendum.

DFAT sought to remove a chapter detailing the Indonesian military’s orchestration of violence, reflecting deceptive narratives propagated by Foreign Minister Alexander Downer and the government.

Despite efforts to suppress the truth, leaked documents reveal that the government was fully aware of the military’s involvement in the atrocities committed against Timorese supporters of independence.
