Indonesia and Anti-Australian Sentiment
Indonesia has been alleged to have a rise in "anti-Australian sentiment" over any suggestion of Australia interfering with its internal affairs. A 2003 study on Indonesian aspirants for a diplomatic position reported that 95% of them had Anti-Australian sentiment. The Post-Suharto era period also saw Anti-Australian sentiment in Indonesia over East Timor. In Indonesia this relates to generalized Anti-Western sentiment.

Famous quotes containing the word sentiment:
“What Congress and the popular sentiment approve is rarely defeated by reason of constitutional objections. I trust the measure will turn out well. It is a great relief to me. Defeat in this way, after a full and public hearing before this [Electoral] Commission, is not mortifying in any degree, and success will be in all respects more satisfactory.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
