Strained, tense, low and at risk. These are but some of the terms attributed to Australia\u2019s relationship with Indonesia in recent times, from the phone tapping revelations of 2013 to the recent executions of the Bali Nine ringleaders.<\/p>\n

But it is an international relationship that continues to be nurtured and nursed, and clearly one of significance to both parties.<\/p>\n

The latest instalment in the Perspectives: Asia<\/a> seminar series, both timely and topical, will take a measured look at the situation and ask why the relationship is so difficult.<\/p>\n

The event is jointly hosted by the Griffith Asia Institute<\/a> and the Australian Centre of Asia-Pacific Art<\/a> \/ Queensland Art Gallery at the Gallery of Modern Art<\/a> at South Bank on Tuesday (May 19, 6pm).<\/p>\n

The seminar will be presented by Professor Tim Lindsey<\/a>, Director of the Centre for Indonesian Law, Islam and Society<\/a> at the Melbourne Law School. It is subtitled \u2018Preposterous Caricatures\u2019, a reference to a comment by former Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono about Australians\u2019 perceptions of Indonesians and vice versa.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost Australians and most Indonesians know very little about one another,\u201d Professor Russell Trood<\/a>, Director, Griffith Asia Institute, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAustralia and Indonesia may be neighbouring countries, but what keeps the countries apart is often more evident than what draws them closer. There are significant and numerous differences of language, culture, history, ethnicity and religion.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, with the Indonesian economy on the rise and the potential emergence of Indonesian influence in Southeast Asia, there is a greater impetus on Australians to connect with and learn more about their nearest neighbours.<\/p>\n

\u201cTuesday\u2019s seminar will discuss where and how this should happen and explore why it is so difficult.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is one of the core objectives of the Griffith Asia Institute, to promote knowledge of Australia’s changing region, and we are delighted to have Professor Lindsey here to lead the discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tim Lindsey is Chair of the Australia Indonesia Institute and member of the Victorian Bar. His publications include Indonesia: Law and Society and The Indonesian Constitution: A contextual analysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
