The Dutch ruled Western Papua until 1963, eventually ceding their sovereignty to Indonesia.

Profiling Non-Executive Directors In Australia, C. L. Cortese, G. Bowrey
Profiling Non-Executive Directors In Australia, C. L. Cortese, G. Bowrey
Graham Bowrey
This paper presents a profile of non-executive directors of Australia’s largest public companies. Using descriptive data, it assesses the extent to which these companies adhere to the requirements set down in the Australian Stock Exchange’s Principles of Good Corporate Governance. In relation to these profiles, the generic roles of non-executive directors are discussed and evaluated in terms of their actual and perceived independence from management. The paper concludes with an examination of the need for independence and questions whether competence, among other characteristics, is a more valuable characteristic of a non-executive director than independence.
