• As a student of Bahasa Indonesia for over ten years, it’s something I’ve frequently observed within the Australia-Indonesia bilateral relationship. Australian captains of industry and government ministers expect they can speak to Indonesians in English – rarely do Australians show any commitment to speaking with Indonesians. In my view, a commitment to speaking with someone – entering a genuinely reciprocal conversation – requires a basic preparedness to hear them in their own authentic voice. That is, in their own language. On this, Australia has failed. (Indonesia at Melbourne)
