Key ASAP policies include: Opposing Australian intervention into Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea, which is aimed at strengthening the imposition of neo-liberal and austerity policies by the IMF, World Bank and transnational corporations, Opposing all Australian support for, and links with, the repressive apparatus of these countries, building support for the progressive and radical movements in these countries which are fighting for genuine democracy, social justice and economic sovereignty, (including the Socialist Party of Timor PST).
ASIET established Indonesia - East Timor Campaign Watch in early 2000
