Australian media,
Australian government and Timor Sea negotiations
Source: ETSA list
14 May 2005
Greetings.
I think the ABC as well as other Australian media institutions have
some explanation to do. For the past few days they Australian media
have written articles as if there is already an agreement in place. The
declarationo by Timor-Leste's PM, Mari Alkatiri, vehemently denies
this. So what is happening? Why is the media printing information that
are not based on fact? Why does the ABC print such nonsense? They seem
to be tuned only to one side of the source, i.e. Australian government
through Alexander Downer. How does the Australian media come to the
decision that Alexander Downer should be the only source of information
when it comes to the process of the Timor Sea negotiations? Isn't the
ABC supposed to be independent and professsional? Or is it part of the
Australian government's propaganda machine?
Beware of what you read. When it comes to the truth, things are not as
simple as ABC.
Alex.
