I edited this article by copy pasting my studies on the issue. They are truncated however it, i believe, provides a mroe clear insight into the issue regarding the Timor Gap.

OK, I moved your stuff below the existing article. Do you have any sources that you could point to?--Commander Keane 05:43, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Absurdly biased

This article is absurdly biased, and in its current form, contravenes Wikipedia's NPOV policy. There is absolutely no discussion of Australia's legal position or any presentation of Australia's justification of its actions; Australia is simply demonised. It reads as though an East Timorese activist has written it. The lack of referencing is also telling.

The first paragraph is fine, along with the statements indicated by the first two bullet points. However, everything below that (along with the "facts and figures" section) should be deleted due to blatant POV.

[edit] Removed POV material

I removed the blatant and completely unreferenced conjecture mentioned in the previous comment and deleted the POV tag.

[edit] stub template?

It seems silly to have four stub templates, and it doesnt really fit in any of them since it is between indonesia and australia. is there a more general stub that could be used? --Astrokey44 03:09, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
