The Australian Government was shamed into it. The Timorese people risked life and limb helping Australian soldiers during WW2 and in the end sold the Timorese out in a clandestine deal with the Indonesians, however the behavior of the Indonesians in the field soon put Australia behind the moral 8 ball and we came to their aid with the blessing of the UN.

Why were Australians rude to Chinese?
It would be best to make such broad generalisations as there are Australians who are rude and there are those who are not. Presumably this question is in reference to how the Chinese were treated by the Australian miners during the goldrushes. During the gold rushes, the Chinese kept to themselves, and the Australians did not understand them at all. They were shunned by Australians because the Chinese were much harder-working, and subsequently tended to find more gold. They were resented for this, and for the fact that Australians just did not understand their language. Australians tended to regard the Chinese as secretive, and therefore a threat. The Chinese often sent the gold they found back to their own country, and Australians did not appreciate the wealth being sent out of their own country. For this reason, groups of Australians would sometimes turn on the Chinese, injuring and even killing them. The Chinese were subjected to being scalped, and their possessions wrecked or looted.
