Comments on: Kevin Rudd’s speech at the Australia-Indonesia Conference Dinner http://www.aboutindonesia.com/kevin-rudds-speech-at-the-australia-indonesia-conference-dinner/ One expat exploring and trying to understand more about Indonesia Fri, 29 Apr 2011 08:09:41 +0000 hourly 1 By: Christine Sidrak http://www.aboutindonesia.com/kevin-rudds-speech-at-the-australia-indonesia-conference-dinner/comment-page-1/#comment-70 Christine Sidrak Thu, 09 Apr 2009 01:49:57 +0000 http://www.aboutindonesia.com/?p=25#comment-70 I definately agree with this. I am a University student with a passion for the Indonesian people and the language. Studying Indonesian in High School was one of the best decisions Iv ever made, and to see that Indonesian courses are being closed down due to a decrese in interest upsets me. Indonesia is Australia's closest neighbour with such unique culture. Yes, Rudd is correct in commenting on our aid with Indonesia during their natural disasters, but is the relationship between Indonesia and Australia going to improve? Is there anything to look forward to? I really hope the relationship strengthens! Indonesia is such a diverse country! :) I definately agree with this.

I am thinking of going back home and capitalizing on this money and using my Indonesian skills to train up the next generation of Australians seeking to engage with this diverse land.
