THE Indonesian Government says it finds the new Australian film about the Balibo Five newsmen "offensive" but it's up to the country's censors to decide if it should be banned.
Indonesia's military has urged the country's censorship board, the LSF, to ban Balibo, which depicts Indonesian soldiers brutally murdering five Australia-based newsmen in the East Timor border town in 1975.

Foreign affairs ministry spokesman Teuku Faizasyah today said he believed the film, which is in the running to be shown at the next Jakarta International Film Festival (JIFF), was offensive.

JIFF director Lalu Rois Amri said organisers were yet to select the films to be shown at the festival but Balibo was one of several "politically sensitive films" in the running.

HELLO INDON! FILM IS NOT SENSITIVE. ISSUE IS NOT SENSITIVE.

THE ONLY THING SENSITIVE HERE ARE YOU INDON PEOPLE! SO ANOTHER SWEEPING OF AUSSIES THIS TIME?

ARSEHOLE INDONS

karena film itu tidak fair dan mengandung propaganda politik memojokkan Indonesia.
kisah sebenarnya berbeda dengan yang ada dalam film.

Why the need for censorship if Indonesians claim that they are the firm supporter of freedom of speech? Let the truth be heard.

Anda tahu kisah sebenarnya?? Kalau nggak tahu tanya mantan mentri zaman Soeharto, Yunus Yosfiah karena dia juga terlibat langsung dalam perebut Balibo pada tahun 1975.

We are simply just afraid of free speech.

Bangsa merdeka harus berpikir secara merdeka - dan bersikap sebagai bangsa merdeka.

Korban-korban yang telah terjadi adalah BAYARAN atas apa yang telah di capai - yaitu status sebagai bangsa merdeka.

Kita tidak bisa mencapai status bangsa merdeka tanpa korban-korban itu,
tapi adalah salah bila kita "menjual" korban-korban itu demi uang - atau demi ucapan di bibir.

Ini masalah prinsip sikap hidup sebagai bangsa merdeka.

Hidup Indonesia !!!
