For the radio historians, the Australian Foreign Affairs department
last week released a volume of documents relating to Australian
policy towards East Timor from 1974-76. They are from files that
have been released to the public ahead of the normal 30-year time
frame for their opening to the public through the National Archives.
Browsing through them, I found an item of radio interest in a
document from July 1974. It was a report from D.J. Fisher, an
officer at the Australian Embassy in Jakarta, on his visit to
Indonesian Timor and Flores to try to ascertain attitudes to
Portuguese Timor. It occurred at a time when the future of the
colony was coming under greater scrutiny, following moves to
head Portugal's African territories towards independence in
the wake of the coup in Lisbon earlier the same year by the
reformist Armed Forces Movement.
Paragraph 9 of the Fisher document explains more: "The only
discernible step being taken [by Indonesia] at this stage to
influence the situation in Portuguese Timor is being taken
through the Indonesian Government Radio Station in Kupang.
Broadcasts are being made in Bahasa Tetum, one of the regional
languages spoken on the Indonesian side of the Timor border
which also happens to be a type of lingua franca in the
Portuguese part of Timor. Although these broadcasts, begun on
the initiative of the Governor [of Indonesian Timor] were
being made before the coup in Lisbon they have been stepped up
since then and now occupy half an hour a day (with three
quarters of an hour on Saturday)."
The report went on that programming dealt mainly with news,
the culture of Nusa Tenggara Timur (West Timor), economic
developments there, and the virtues of being an independent
nation (noted as a general characteristic of RRI programs -
Indonesia was still proud of its anti-colonial credentials at
this stage). While ostensibly aimed at listeners in Indonesian
Timor who spoke Tetum, the program also sought to raise
awareness among people in Portuguese Timor. RRI Kupang hoped
to distribute radios in the border area by selling them at
reduced prices - hopefully, some would move across the border
into Portuguese Timor. Tetum was the only regional language
broadcast on RRI Kupang, although it did have plans to
commence programs in another border language, Dawan, also
spoken in Portuguese Timor and the Oecussi enclave. When Jose
Ramos Horta, then Secretary General of the Timorsese Social
Democratic Party, visited Kupang he did query the purpose of
the broadcasts, but there was apparently no official concern
on the part of the Portuguese authorities. This was all
happening 12 months before the Indonesian invasion of
Portuguese Timor.
Other documents in the volume touch on the role of Radio
Australia before and during the crisis in Timor. RA angered
some Indonesians because of perceptions of bias in favour of
the leftist independence movement, Fretilin. In one document,
Indonesian critics of RA are reported to have called it the
"Voice of Fretilin". (Matt Francis via EDXP E-news)
