Australia's Battle To Drill For Oil On Timor Island

The Timor Gap (2004): The dispute over who owns the oil and gas reserves under the East Timorese sea is becoming increasingly bitter. With billions of dollars of revenue at stake, neither side is prepared to back down.

"We have oil, kerosene and gas in our sea that people want to steal. They are the resources that can help us fix everything," states East Timor's President Xanana Gusmao. But Australia is refusing to redraw maritime boundaries to enable Dili to exploit these natural resources. Instead, it wants to continue operating by the terms of a 1992 agreement which gave them the right to joint development areas and left borders undefined. Now many Timorese blame their own government for ever agreeing to these terms. "They are the ones who signed the agreement ... why should we blame Australia?" states one opponent. And if Australia refuses to compromise, it may prove to be a mistake that's impossible to rectify.

    It doesn't matter if Timor leste was controlled by Indonesia or is being independent. If Timorese people don't have capital, human resources, and technology, oil reserves finally will be exploited by foreign countries 😀😀.

    No need to be separated. Indonesia already allow Australian to exploits West Papua raw resources with a little fee of few million dollar a year. Compare to what Australian get, the fee is nothing. Instead of going to Indonesia, all the mineral mines went to Australia.
