The Australian government to investigate the breaches with laws and the Human Right Abuses in the location Free port Mining operation in West Papua and
* Immediately enforce national environmental law. This should be done by halting Freeport-Rio Tinto operations until breaches are remedied, and prosecuting legal breaches which continue today despite warnings in the early 2000s. In particular:
* Dissolved copper and suspended solids (TSS) entering the Ajkwa Estuary must not breach water quality limits for class II of the Water Quality Regulations (2001).
* Acid Rock Drainage must be immediately prevented from entering into surface and ground waters at levels which breach water quality limits for heavy metals and acidity class II of the Water Quality Regulations (2001).
* Undertake its own thorough and regular sampling, instead of relying on company reports, and make all environmental information public according to the Environment Law (1997).
* Re-examine tax and royalty arrangements to improve benefits for affected communities, Papua province, and compensate for environmental damage created so far.
* Establish an Independent Panel to define several scenarios for the future of the Freeport mine, including closure date, processing, and waste management, then to commission a detailed, independent, social and technical review of these scenarios. The review should be used as the basis of an informed discussion by local people and other stakeholders on the future of the mine.
We would like the Aust Govt to respond to the plea for help from the West Papuan People for assistance in free themselves from illegal occupation , annexation of their tribal lands through acts of terror, villification, murder, torture and rapes , assaults and mass killings/ Genocide that is currently being committed in West Papua and the media blanket that is in place to prevent the truth coming out about what atrocities have been occuring for the last 50 years. . It has been estimated that 300 000 West Papuans have vanished since Indonesian takeover..the takeover has been resisted continuosly since the Dutch de-colonised . A massive Freedom movement has evolved with the help of Benny Wenda who escaped into exile in the UK and has huge support internationally . West Papua people, poverty is widespread mining and deforestation not bring economic benefits to West Papuansd, the loss of homelands , political persecution including abductions, murders poisonings ,disappearances hit and run attacks , lack of adequate medical services and racial discrimination in areas of health, education and law issues sets the scene for civil unrest . West Papuan people are systematically being abused and the methods are a clear violation of human rights including flooding in 1 million javanese slum dwellers to WP which increased tensions and competition for employment. Dr Keyes Lagerberg was a Dutch Government official in Biak West Papua until the transfer of administration in 1962 (UNTEA). He was a friend of the West Papuan people. In his life he dedicated his time to raise the issue of West Papua in the Netherlands. and internationally with his book SCHULDIG ZWIJGEN (Guilty Silence)
