Fraser admits repeating policy could cause harm in Timor debate
Prime Minister Fraser acknowledged that continually restating Australia’s Timor policy might cause harm as Indonesia presses its position. The exchange followed a no confidence motion on foreign policy defeated 83 to 32, with Whitlam accusing Fraser of bungling relations with Indonesia and regional partners. A secret cable from Woolcott to Canberra outlined Indonesian thinking on East Timor, noting a preference for military action if chaos followed Portuguese departure, and suggesting Australia privately sympathised with Indonesia’s aims while not condoning methods.
