| 词条 | West Papuan refugee dispute |
| 释义 |
In early 2006, a furore erupted in Indonesia over the Australian government's decision to grant temporary protection visas to 42 West Papuan asylum seekers. The controversy caused diplomatic tension as well as a "war of cartoons", with newspapers in Indonesia and Australia trading hits over a decision that the Indonesians say questions the sovereignty that they officially have over West Papua.[1][2][3] The issue was caused by the Australian Government's decision through the immigration department to allow visas to 42 refugees that arrived in January. Part of the Indonesian concern is based on the speed at which these asylum seekers were processed – forty-two were processed in just two months, with the remaining asylum seeker having been approved in mid-April. The Indonesian government took the move as a direct challenge, inferring that the approval of the temporary protection visas indicated that the Australian Government agreed with the West Papuans that they face persecution if they returned home. CartoonsOn 27 March 2006, Indonesian newspaper Rakyat Merdeka published a front-page editorial cartoon depicting the then Australian Prime Minister John Howard and Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer as dingoes. The cartoon was intended to protest the acceptance of the Papuan refugees by the Australian Government.[4] The Weekend Australian published a retaliatory cartoon by Bill Leak on 1 April 2006, apparently depicting Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as a dog, copulating with a Papuan native.[5] Alexander Downer labelled both cartoons "tasteless and grotesque", while Andi Mallarangeng, the spokesperson for President Yudhoyono said the cartoon was "in poor taste".[6] In response to The Australian cartoon, Indonesian activists in Makassar, South Sulawesi, demanded that Australian guests be evicted from their hotels and searched hotels across the city for tourists from the country.[7] ReferencesNotes and citations1. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.oneindia.com/2006/03/30/lurid-cartoon-adds-to-australia-indonesia-strains-1143695854.html|title=Lurid cartoon adds to Australia-Indonesia strains |agency=Reuters|date=30 March 2006|publisher=One India|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161002110917/http://www.oneindia.com/2006/03/30/lurid-cartoon-adds-to-australia-indonesia-strains-1143695854.html|archivedate=2 October 2016}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/satirists-put-the-bite-on-howard/2006/03/29/1143441208461.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060414084354/http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/satirists-put-the-bite-on-howard/2006/03/29/1143441208461.html|archivedate=14 April 2006|date=30 March 2006|newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald|title=Satirists put the bite on Howard}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200603/s1604772.htm|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070613142404/http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200603/s1604772.htm|archivedate=13 June 2007|date=30 March 2006|title=Dingo cartoon fails to faze Howard}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/rudd-slams-disgusting-cartoon/2006/03/30/1143441247005.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161002111514/http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/rudd-slams-disgusting-cartoon/2006/03/30/1143441247005.html|archivedate=2 October 2016|title=Rudd slams 'disgusting' cartoon|newspaper=The Age|date=30 March 2006}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/cartoon-anger-fears/2006/04/01/1143441378824.html|newspaper=The Age|date=2 April 2006|first1=Tom|last1=Hyland|first2=Penelope|last2=Debelle|title=Cartoon anger fears|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161002111754/http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/cartoon-anger-fears/2006/04/01/1143441378824.html|archivedate=2 October 2016}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4867470.stm|title=Australian cartoon irks Indonesia|publisher=BBC|date=1 April 2006|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305205945/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4867470.stm|archivedate=5 March 2016}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Forbes|first1=Mark|last2=Grattan|first2=Michelle|author-link2=Michelle Grattan|title=Papuan boat arrival fuels crisis|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160118095700/http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/papuan-boat-arrival-fuels-crisis/2006/04/04/1143916526871.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1|archivedate=18 January 2016|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/papuan-boat-arrival-fuels-crisis/2006/04/04/1143916526871.html?page=fullpage|newspaper=The Age|date=5 April 2006}} Resources{{refbegin}}
