I think over 2000 Australian troops have been sent into East Timor



yeah from what I heard late on response (as usual) and light on proper deployment, in other words parading around whilst a lot of shit went down, gangs, looting etc. If we had say economic interest there, or strategic ones, sure maybe Australia's response would be quicker and more effective.

This is a good thread.

Australia didn't want to intervene until the Indonesian government had made a formal request. The Indonesian government were going to try and quell the uprising themselves
