Opening of the West Papua Office in Docklands on 23rd June 2014 (Tommy Latupeirissa)
The issue of West Papua has been marginalised, even ostracised, by Australian governments since 1962, when Sir Garfield Barwick signed the New York Agreement into force, effectively rendering the UN Non-Self-Governing Territory an [illegal] Indonesian colony.
The West Papua Rent Collective is a galaxy of enlightened Australians that supports our neighbour’s independence struggle by paying the rent on the West Papuans’ spectacular five-star-energy office in Docklands. Each member pays $30/month, or $360/year in cash, or cheque, or through internet banking facilities.
