FAKFAK, West Papua – Nestled among fragrant nutmeg trees and steps away from a white sandy beach in West Papua, a hilltop village has found new ways of making the most out of its prized spices. 

Sakartemen village sits on a lush hill called Hargendik in Fakfak, which is known for its nutmeg. During harvest season, farmers hack away with machetes at the thick bushes covering the ground, searching for the large, slightly curved fruits that litter the hill by the thousands. These fruits are nothing like the smaller versions found in other parts of Indonesia.

Hubungan dua negara Indonesia dan Australia telah berlangsung sejak abad ke-18, bahkan sebelum ditemukannya benua Australia oleh pelaut dari Eropa. Kontak dagang telah dikembangkan antara masyarakat indigenous di daratan Australia bagian Utara dengan pelaut Makassar, terutama pada komoditas teripang, yaitu sejenis timun laut yang pada kala itu dianggap sebagai salah satu komoditas unggulan.

Indonesia’s parliaments—at the national and regional level—are repeatedly measured in opinion surveys as having amongst the lowest levels of trust of any public institution. Only political parties consistently rate lower than the parliament. The biggest single reason why the public views the parliament so negatively is usually perceptions of corruption. Most voters also report that they rarely, if at all, meet with a member of parliament from their electoral district. The parliament clearly has a major PR problem.
