HALLO ‘EASTERNERS FROM THE WEST’ WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE ABORIGINES LAND? by Syarif Hidayat Some people in Indonesia call Australians as the ‘Easterners from the West’ and some others call them as the ‘Westerners from the East’. The reality is that until now it seems Australia still has difficulties to integrate with the community of nations in the East including with Aborigine people, their hosts in Aborigines Land. On the contrary these ‘Easterners from the West’ blame Aborigines for not being able to integrate into the western culture and they don’t respect the well-established rule in the world civilization that the new comers or the immigrants who should (or make efforts to) integrate into the local/national culture of the host country (land). The Australians still prefer to have close relations and cooperation with the Western countries rather than Eastern countries. They are even still acting as merely imperialist exploiters of the Eastern countries including Indonesia.
