CANBERRA (AP): Australia will send a delegation of lawmakers to monitor next week's elections in Indonesia, Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said on Tuesday....
"Australia has committed up to A$15 million ($US11 million) to support the Indonesian government in running this election," Downer said.
Indonesians go to the polls on April 5 to elect a 550-seat legislature....
With nearly 17,000 islands to cover, Indonesian election officials have had to transport ballot papers to remote areas by air force planes, boat, and in some cases, donkeys.
