that many of the same officers that orchestrated the violence during the Indonesian occupation of East Timor are now in West Papua, and

that, despite the extensive evidence of crimes against humanity in East Timor under Indonesian occupation, no members of the Indonesian military have been prosecuted;

(b)

expresses concern at ongoing Australian military cooperation with Indonesia while these human rights abuses by elements of the Indonesian military continue; and
