The Kitchen Table talks to the Australia based Human Rights Law Centre’s communications director Tom Clarke about human rights abuses in West Papua.

Tom details the conditions West Papuans live in under Indonesian rule, the Australian government’s hands-off approach and the ‘Act of Free Choice‘.

We then talk about why Indonesia believes it can claim West Papua and how diplomatic relations in the area change after General Suharto came to power.
