Sydney Morning Herald: East Timors parliament has authorised the immediate commencement of negotiations with Australia to establish a new maritime boundary between the countries. The maritime boundary has been a constant source of conflict between Australia and East Timor, amid revelations of Australian spying on its northern neighbour and claims the future of the fledgling state has been jeopardised by Australias stance. Negotiated when Indonesia occupied East TImor, the boundary lies much closer to East Timor than Australia, placing the lucrative oil and gas fields in the Timor Sea largely within Australian territory.
