IndonesiaWatts has written on the economic growth of Indonesia in recent years, highlighting that 'there is no other nation in Asia more important to our future than Indonesia'.[25] Subsequently, he has called for an increase to the cap on working holiday visas for Indonesians and argued that it is time Australians consider Indonesia as 'critical' to both the economic prosperity and security of the country.[25] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader/west/labor-candidate-for-gellibrand-tim-watts-powers-ahead/news-story/70a9da68f92f99751965dd0fbe45b365 |title=Labor
