Update: 2025-10-15
Description
Greg Shackleton, Gary Cunningham, Tony Stewart, Malcolm Rennie and Brian Peters: five young men who became forever linked by an atrocity in the jungles of Timor-Leste 50 years ago today.
The story of the 'Balibo Five' has sparked books, a feature film and multiple inquiries. What's less well known is the work of the Balibó House Trust, which remains on the ground, lifting up the local community.
