Fretilin radio transmitter threat in Northern Territory
Threats by Fretilin representative Mr C Santos to re establish four radio transmitters in the Northern Territory aim to expand surveillance over illegal signals. Australia’s Telecom network may be used to relay Fretilin broadcasts from East Timor, prompting high level investigations and government countermeasures. The Prime Minister acknowledged the transmitter search as authorities monitor possible attempts to smuggle arms and mislead media coverage. Dr Bill Roberts called reports of a new link a misunderstanding.
