Legislators to visit Australia

JAKARTA: Nine legislators from the House of Representatives
(DPR) Commission I for foreign affairs are planning to visit
Australia to meet Australian authorities and Indonesians
suspected of terrorist activities.

The legislators would visit Indonesian communities in four
cities Perth, Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney.

"We will go there to get firsthand information," Ambong told
Thursday.

The three-day visit will also be used so that the legislators
can get an understanding of the policies of the Australian
government on Indonesian citizens, said Ambong, a politician from
Golkar Party.

For that purpose, Ambong said, the delegation would meet with
Indonesian diplomats there, Australian Parliament members and
police.

According to Ambong, the findings would be discussed in
Commission I and later submitted to the government for further
action. -- JP
