Notes: A.W.D. was the result of the concern of all churches with the imbalance in world economies. Consequently the Australian Council of Churches and the Australian Episcopal (Bishops) Conference of the Catholic Church initiated a conference (1970), a joint secretariat and a study programme (1972). The result was the formation of A.W.D. Since then A.W.D. has become increasingly autonomous and now describes itself as an ecumenical network of people throughout Australia gathered into small groups, working for personal change and structural change which brings about justice, liberation and human development in their own lives and in the lives of others.

Action in Solidarity with Indonesia and East Timor (ASIET), now Action in Solidarity with Asia and the Pacific (ASAP), was a network of activists around Australia committed to building solidarity with and support for movements for social justice, genuine democratisation and self-determination around the Asia Pacific region.
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).
