Tim Anderson Part 1 - Timor Leste. Cuban Medical Brigades

Tim Anderson returns from a two week visit to Timor Leste just after the
inauguration of the new government. But before we begin discussion on the
economic and political problems of the new East Timorese government, Tim
describes the sterling work and achievements of the 300 strong Cuban medical
brigade to Timor Leste, and the training of over 800 East Timorese students
who will be replacing them over the next ten years.

Tim Anderson Part 2 - Timor Leste. Future of Petroleum Fund

The economic ideology of the new East Timorese government raises some
concern over the future of the East Timorese Petroleum fund, designed to
'future proof' Timor Leste's economy and avoid the trap of the 'Resource
Curse'.

Tim Anderson Part 3 - Timor Leste and Australian Presence.

Past and recent events seem to indicate that for many Timorese, the
Australians may have worn out their welcome. And the Howard government is
still trying push Timor Leste towards more privatisation (especially of
land) and neo liberal economic policies.

Tim Anderson Part 4 - Timore Leste. Was it a coup?

Tim provides background on some of the key players in the destabilising
events of May - July last year. Was it a test of Fretilin's commitment to
the people? Or does the Howard government deserve a serve for an
opportunistic intervention?

Tim Anderson Part 5 - Timor Leste. Xanana's Problems

Tim Anderson talks about the implications of new information about last
year's coup plotters coming to light, and what it might mean to the future
of the new Prime Minister, Xanana Gusmao.
