Fatoberlio, Public Consultation for National Stretegic Development PlanXanana Gusmao: “Woodside are liars and corrupt”
TVTL Reporter:
Fatoberlio-During the Public Consultation for the National strategic Development Plan held by the Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao in the subdistrict of Fatoberlio, he said that the company Woodside was a liar and totally corrupt.The Head of Government Kay rala Xanana Gusmao said, during the public consultation for the NSDP, last Saturday in the sub district of Fatoberlio, that in spite of the fact that the International Company Woodside is still currently working to exploit Timor’s oil, it does not have the confidence of the Timor-Leste government to do so,because it has shown that it does give importance to the people of Timor-Leste.Because of this Kay Rala Xanana Gusmao has asked all the people, to strengthen national unity and not believe international companies including Woodside, who retain the ambition of continuing to exploit Timor-Leste’s oil.
Xanana Gusmao:
Because from behind our backs they are dividing us. To do what? To kill ourselves. To wreck one another, so they will then steal our resources. This is what I am warning our whole people of. That there are things that are ours, that we have to be together, things for which we have to stand up for, because it was this people who built this state, who gave their rotting remains, with their resources, who gave their bodies away, their blood, their sweat, in sacrifice of the defence of our resources. There can not be any one person, who can take this right away from our people. Together, standing together, we will tell Australia, tell Woodside this.Woodside’s experience in Africa is bad. They stole. They provoked corruption in some countries in Africa. This is what we have to be watchful to. We have to be watchful with Woodside. We have to be careful with those who now say, we depend on them for their support.Before they supported Indonesia. Had they not supported Indonesia,Indonesia would not have come in here. They recognized our annexation and divided up our resources. Because of this we have to continue to be together, to defend our resources, even if we all die and they can come to get our resources, we must continue to stand up.
TVTL Reporter:
The Prime Minister added that, before the Timor-Leste government had an agreement with the company to train Timor-Leste youth, but to date only 30 Timorese are working there and the company is looking to sackt hem all.
Xanana Gusmao:
In 2002 with Conoco Phillips and Bayu Undan, our government signed an agreement whereby they promised to train our sons. At that time they took in 30 Timorese. Some engineers, some petroleum geologists.Because we argued with them, they increased, increased, increased, to now in 2010, there are 70 there. When we do not stand up, when we not together, they divide us, it is not enough that they stand on ourshoulders, they put their feet on our heads. Because of this that I appeal to all our people that we must be together on this.
TVTL Reporter:
The head of government made a plea for everyone in the nation to support this. Because when the national leadership, when the people are not united, then bringing the pipeline to Timor-Leste will not even be a dream, and we can scream, we can protest all we like, but all Timorese must lend a hand to one another to create unity, peaceand one policy so that we can attain our just resources.
