However, it would be nice to know whether the Government had a view or advice regarding the US, Britain and the other participants, including the heroic leader of Australia, about whom the Minister of State must have heard a little during his recent visit to East Timor. He has scandalously bullied East Timor into handing over significant proportions of its natural resources, withdrawn from international conventions to bully the country and sent 2,000 Australian soldiers halfway around the world to fight a war in the name of freedom, according to him, having conspired to take away the riches that would give a small and recently free country some chance in the world. I hope the Minister of State will have an opportunity to tell the Australian Government the view of the Irish people about that nasty exercise taking place behind the backs of the world.
