Jayapura, 10/2 (Jubi)-Democracy in New Zealand support group questioned by West Papuan struggle.
The Australia West Papua Association (AWPA) worrying about democracy in New Zealand because the country is banned West Papuan leader, Benny Wenda to speak at the New Zealand Parliament.
Joe Collins, AWPA spokesman, said the ban is the second time the Indonesian government tried to block the issue of West Papua, in just one week.
"This is the second time. after a documentary film about the Papuan titled "Goodbye Indonesia," played on Al-Jazeera TV, the Government of Indonesia requested Aljazeera to put the official viewpoint of Indonesia in the documentary. Aljazeera response to pressure from the Government of Indonesia to add comments and responses by the Government of Indonesia at the end of the movie. "Said Joe Collins in the media releasenya sent to tabloidjubi.com, Saturday (9/2).
Prohibition of the New Zealand government, has made the most of the people of Australia and New Zealand itself dubious democracy in the country. AWPA suspect this has something to do with the ban on trade agreement between Indonesia and New Zealand signed last year.
"And now we see the NZ government also bowed to pressure from the Government of Indonesia with Benny Wenda is not possible to speak in Parliament. Looks like the trade has defeated human rights. "Said Joe Collins. (Jubi / Benny Mawel)

Jayapura, 10/2 (Jubi)-Demokrasi di Selandia Baru diragukan oleh kelompok pendukung perjuangan Papua Barat. The Australia West Papua Association (AWPA) mengkhwatirkan kehidupan demokrasi di Selandia Baru, sebab negara ini melarang pemimpin Papua Barat, Benny Wenda untuk berbicara di Gedung Parlemen Selandia Baru.
Joe Collins, juru bicara AWPA, menyebutkan pelarangan ini adalah kali kedua Pemerintah Indonesia mencoba untuk memblokir masalah Papua Barat, hanya dalam waktu satu minggu.
“Ini adalah kali kedua. setelah film dokumenter tentang Papua yang berjudul “Goodbye Indonesia,” diputar di Aljazeera TV, Pemerintah Indonesia meminta Aljazeera untuk menempatkan sudut pandang resmi Indonesia dalam film dokumenter tersebut. Aljazeera menanggapi tekanan dari Pemerintah Indonesia dengan menambahkan komentar dan tanggapan oleh Pemerintah Indonesia pada akhir film.” sebut Joe Collins dalam media releasenya yang dikirimkan kepada tabloidjubi.com, Sabtu (9/2).
Larangan dari pemerintah Selandia Baru ini, telah membuat sebagian masyarakat Australia dan Selandia Baru sendiri meragukan demokrasi di negara tersebut. AWPA menduga larangan ini ada kaitannya dengan perjanjian perdagangan antara Indonesia dan Selandia Baru yang ditandatangani tahun lalu.
“Dan sekarang kita lihat Pemerintah NZ juga tunduk pada tekanan dari Pemerintah Indonesia dengan tidak memungkinkan Benny Wenda untuk berbicara di Gedung Parlemen. Sepertinya perdagangan telah mengalahkan hak asasi manusia.” sebut Joe Collins. (Jubi/Benny Mawel)

The New Zealand Green Party is disappointed at the parliamentary speaker’s decision to stop a West-Papuan political activist from speaking at Parliament.
David Carter has turned down an application from the Green, Labour and Mana Parties to host Benny Wenda at a public function in Parliament on the grounds it is not appropriate.
Benny Wenda is the head of a freedom campaign that is fighting for the independence of West Papua, which is part of Indonesia.
The Green MP, Catherine Delahunty, says the Speaker’s decision goes against the spirit of Parliament.
“It’s not good enough to say, well you can do this in your caucus room. I wanted to hold a forum which included other political parties where they have shown an interest in this issue. This is an issue which basically is the dirty secret of the Pacific which no one wants to talk about. The facility called parliament belongs to all parliamentarians and without fear or favour we should be able to hold events in this facility.”
Ms Delahunty says Benny Wenda will instead speak at Victoria University, opposite Parliament, tomorrow.
The Speakers office says MPs can raise any concerns with the Parliamentary Service Commission.

West Papuan freedom fighter blocked from NZ Parliament
The Australia West Papua Association is greatly concerned that a democratic country like New Zealand is not allowing West Papuan leader Benny Wenda to speak at its Parliament House.
Joe Collins of AWPA said this is the second time in just over a week that Indonesian has tried to block the issue of West Papua being raised. After showing the documentary “Goodbye Indonesia,” about West Papua on Aljazeera TV, Aljazeera responded to pressure from the Indonesian Government by adding comments and responses by the Indonesian Government at the end of the film. And now we have the NZ Government also bowing to pressure from the Indonesian Government by not allowing Benny Wenda to speak at Parliament House. It looks like trade again trumps human rights.
