I think Govt had a tough issue here. In the Paupa Independence thing, I believe Howard sacrificed them for regional stability. Austraia may be giving alot of concessions to Indonesia to appease thier big neighbor up top.

Another thing would be the Nuclear power. My worry is even though the development of nuclear energy would be just of power, other countries may be more inclined to gather the secrets from Indonesia as they are "easier" in terms of intelligence gathering. The possibility of Nuclear Meltdown is big as well simply because of the geographic region, hard line extremist may use that for the next Nuclear Bomb and if they do succeed the radioactive fallout would not just go to Australia but also to Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and other nieghboring countries.
