The Indonesian response has been to kill some and lock up more.
A humble, tiny group of three Sydney protesters stood outside the Indonesian consulate in the beachside suburb of Maroubra handing out flowers to Indonesians coming to vote.
They politely asked them to remember the West Papuans and no matter who wins please ask the new president to stop killing the West Papuans.
After 30 seconds angry consular staff buzzed outside and began filming aggressively.
Some brave Indonesians took their jonquils into the consulate and were promptly kicked out. They had to leave their flowers on the fence.
Within half an hour the police were there but because the protesters were on the public pavement, polite and peaceful they just told the consular staff there was nothing wrong here and left.

There is a serious side, which is that the Indonesian military does collect names and pictures of Australians, and even Americans, Irish and Brits thought to be sympathetic to the West Papuan cause.
They put them on the same watch list as the West Papuans they kill.
One such list in a Kopassus report was leaked a few years back and can be found here.
