Hey - a lot of our people are back from East Timor, now.  Gizza a whistle
if yez could use a few blue helmets, eh?  Their experience in East Timor
has forged useful skills in the challenging task of restoring formal
democracy in environments beset by indignant right-wing militias,
institutional crisis, ruined infrastructure and polarised citizenries - and
their experience as Australian citizens means they won't bat an eyelid if
it comes to buttressing a government who lost a popular vote.

We might have to shoot a couple of people (but not very many), but we've a
good medical corps (useful when the local health sector has been
destroyed), a good public liaison unit (experienced at replacing destroyed
schools and teaching the locals some English), and we bring our own beer.

We come cheap, too - the going price is half your oil fields ...

Cheers,
Rob.
