Labor's foreign affairs spokesman Kevin Rudd has described as disgusting and 
disgraceful a cartoon depicting the prime minister and foreign minister as 
fornicating dingoes.

The cartoon of John Howard and Alexander Downer dominated the front page of one 
of Indonesia's biggest-selling newspapers, the Islamic-leaning Rakyat Merdeka 
(People's Freedom).

Headlined "The adventure of two dingo" (sic), the drawing shows the prime 
minister as the dominant dog, shaking as he tells the foreign minister: "I want 
Papua!! Alex! Try to make it happen!"

Today after seeing the cartoon, Mr Rudd said he would raise his concerns about 
it with the Indonesian ambassador.

"This is a disgusting and disgraceful depiction of the prime minister and the 
foreign minister, I don't think it passes any standard of taste anywhere in the 
world," Mr Rudd said.

"But the challenge in Indonesia these days is that with a free press, I've got 
to say, this paper and others are producing all sorts of material all the time.

"What powers the Indonesian government has over Indonesian newspapers in terms 
of decency standards, I don't know," he told ABC Radio.

"Certainly when I see the Indonesian ambassador next, when he finally returns 
to Australia, I'll be raising this in terms of what government can to in 
Jakarta to at least ensure that it's publications don't breach common decency 
standards."

Indonesia has recalled its ambassador in response to Australia's decision to 
grant asylum to 42 Papuans.

Indonesian nationalists accuse Canberra of secretly plotting Papua's breakaway 
from Jakarta's grasp, likening it to the 1999 independence crisis in East Timor.
