IMO PNG and West Papua should be one country.
PNG got its independence from Germany post WW1
and subsequently from Aus in 1975.

West papua was contested by the Dutch with Indonesia
until post WW2 when the Dutch empire collapsed leaving
West Papua under the Newly independent Indonesia.

IMO East Timor has set the precedent and we had a hand
in East Timor's independence.

So as a country if Aus wants to be consistent, then we have
to support West Papuan Independence or better still its
integration with PNG.

Indonesia has been relocating Indonesian nationals to West Papua
with the view of 'out-populating the locals for political reasons.

While we were over-focused on the break-up of the USSR
and the Warsaw Pact countries receiving independence ,
we took out eye off the local independence movements
...East Timor to the late 1990s & now West Papua.
