East Timor, Australia and stolen oil

This is talked about quite alot here in Portugal because of Portuguese ties (guilt debt) to East Timor.

East Timor is one of the newest and poorest nations in the world, it potentially had rights over rich oil and gas fields . Australian anexed sovereignty over these fields by coming to agreement with Indonesia who was occupying East Timor. East Timor really needs the income but Australia won't hand rights back.

I notice there are a few Australians on the Cellar, what are their views on this?
