Bolger comes ■■■ under attack THERE’S mounting criticism of New Zealand prime minister Jim Bolger’s acceptance of Indonesia’s reasons for occupying East Timor.

Bolger raised the occupation with the Indonesian govern ment during his visit to Jakarta. After the meeting he said he accepted Indonesia’s reasons and that the Indonesian foreign minister knows more about the situation than New Zealand’s MPs who are critical of the occupation. That angered Labour MP Phil Goff, who is accusing Bolger of being an apologist for Jakarta.
