We need to expect more integrity from our Politicians.
The Lombok Treaty petition, physically signed by 105 people was read out in the House of Representatives on Monday August 17, 2015:

Let’s see what response our honourable politicians will give.
But history shows that for the past 50 years, our politicians fake shock and horror but do nothing.
UN Resolution 514 supports the right for people groups to have independence. However, the Australian Government effectively signs West Papua's rights over to Indonesia who are killing off the West Papuan independence movement.
Why do you think it is that the Australian Government is more interested in appeasing Indonesia than West Papua's right to independence?
Two Australians were executed for drug running but the Indonesian Military is reportedly involved with drug running:

We want the submission of the physical petition to the Australian Government to be a limus test on whether we the people of Australia can trust our Government:

If the Government refused to fully abolish the Lombok Treaty then that is clear evidence to the people of Australia that business and trade with Indonesia is more important than the lives of Australians, West Papuan's, and human rights activists. The FWPP will then motion that the people of Australia should use the next Federal Election as a vote of no confidence in all those that make up the current Australian Parliament.

This year marks the 40th Anniversary of the Balibo Five and Roger East murders. In 1975 five
journalists from Australia travelled to East Timor to find out the truth about rumours of
Indonesia's pending invasion of East Timor. Both the Indonesian and Australian government
stated they were caught in cross fire and died by accident. A NSW Coroner D Pinch in 2007
found they were murdered in cold blood, by the Indonesian military, a war crime of unlawful
killing to cover up the incursion by the Indonesian military. The Australian government through
the Defence Security Directorate and Defence Security Organisation knew of their murders and
kept it secret from the Australian people for years. Roger East another reporter who went to
investigate their disappearance was murdered on Dili Wharf 7th Dec 1975 by Indonesian
soldiers.
Their families have never received an official apology and those responsible have escaped
justice. Indonesia blocked Australia's attempts to find the truth. In 1996 Alexandria Downer
requested Indonesia co operate with the Sherman enquiry, Indonesia declined the request.
