PnG is useless because of foreign intervention into their ineffectual government. Australia has been blocking investment into the country and their resources can't compare to Papua. Papua has the largest gold/copper mine in the world, PnG is no leader in anything. And its mining operation is done by foreign western companies, little of that money flows into PNG.
Majority ownership does not imply it receive the majority of the profits. Its just a political gimmick to placate the critics. You don't need foreign investment into a low tech open pit mining. Obviously the west is covering Indonesia asses. You don't get similar media coverage like in Myanmar Rohingya. And Australia is the primary beneficiary of Timor Independence, look at the oil field contracts it got. Sure Australia wants a stable West Papua, they are the part of the Anglo alliance with the US. They are tag teams in maintaining a stable west Papua so they can extract resources unimpeded. The moment Indonesia shits on Freeport, is game over just like Iran. Australia doesn't care about a failed state like Timor, Papua New Guinea is proof, just stable enough. There is no political motivation to attack Indonesia, maybe a few times, just a reminder to the Indonesian leaders that there are consequences.
Well, I live in Australia and I can tell you the ruling establishment here in Australia most of all hate dark asian people. the only people they hate more than that are
dark muslim asian people.
The Australian establishment
loves Papuans because they are not seen as any sort of a threat. They are
protestant and very loyal to the Anglo Australian establishment.
so it is a wild fantasy here in Australia that Indonesia be broken apart and replaced by 100 independent feudal states that don't threaten the white Australian colony.
And where possible those feudal states should be christians ruling over muslims.
So have no doubt, Australia is planning and funding all sorts of Papua independence movements and when the time is right they will do another East Timor plot.
Indonesia if it is smart should settle approximately 50 million Javanese Muslims into west Papua right away. maybe that's an exaggeration. even 40 million is enough and put these Australian colonialist dreams to rest once and for all. Otherwise, west papua is gone.
Oh and by the way, If the Indonesians don't have the will or the money to settle these areas, they should send the Rohygnya refugees there and give each of them a machine gun and rocket launcher. Israeli style. without settling people this land is lost to Indonesia.
