Death in Balibo, Lies in Canberra

For over two decades the deaths of five newsmen in Balibo, East Timor has nagged at consciences in Australia, Britain and New Zealand. This is a story of lies that reveal the workings of a clandestine system of deceit and names those involved in a 24-year trail of cover-ups and denials.

Desmond Ball is a special professor at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, ANU, Canberra.
