Australia did nothing to stop Indonesia's devastating occupation of East Timor, when - on our doorstep - 200,000 lives were lost from a population of 650,000. Instead, our government colluded with Indonesia to secure more favourable maritime boundaries.</p><p>Even today, Australia claims resources that, by international law, should belong to its neighbour - a young country still recovering from catastrophe and in desperate need of income. <em>Crossing the Line</em> is a long-overdue exposé of the most shameful episode in recent Australian history.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'Revelatory, extraordinary and compelling - an absolute must-read.' --Peter Garrett</p><p>'<em>Crossing the Line</em> is an unassailable exposé of Australia's ruthless pursuit of resources in the Timor Sea.
