Over Porn Videos, Indonesia Criticized by Australia

Members of the House’s Commission I had been criticized by the Australian Communications and Information Minister with regard to the Indonesian video pornographic releases, during their working visit from July 19 to 24, 2010.

"During the working visit, the Australian Communications and Information Minister had made an insinuation by saying that the Australian community in fact also enjoyed the Indonesian singer for leaking the porn video recording," said Max Sopacua when contacted by ANTARA Sunday.

The insinuation was conveyed in a conversation of Australian officials who said they also also enjoyed the Indonesian artist’s raunchy performance by browsing through the Internet. The Indonesian delegates were discussing information technology and media convergence developments and how they reacted to Indonesia and Australia at the meeting.

Addressing the development of information technology through the Internet is quite difficult, he said. Max said that the Indonesian government recently is encouraging technological progress of information via the Internet to increase public knowledge on the development of information but on the other hand, unwanted information such as the porn video is hard to prevent.

Besides meeting with the Australian Minister, the delegates also visited the SBC television station to see how the management and programs to be broadcast is. Besides, Max said that they were also visited the Australian Ministry of Defense to discuss bilateral relations in areas such as defense-border problems.
