Look at this script: TONY JONES: Well there are two serious candidates for President: the Governor of Jakarta, Joko Widodo, also known as Jokowi, and the former Special Forces General Prabowo Subianto. Are either of them likely to be as friendly to Australia as President Yudhoyono is? WIMAR WITOELAR: Jokowi probably would be much like Yudhoyono and at least hes predictable and he has more experience on the ground and even with international relations and his kind of people are not the kind to upset any kind of international balance. On the Prabowo side, we dont know. Hes a really big question mark because he hasnt practically - he hasnt done anything in public office since he was commander of the Special Forces in 1998. And the coalition that hes moulded that keeps getting more and more people aboard consists of the most unusual types, including some extreme types, extreme Muslim radicals, extreme nationalists, even very corrupt people. So I wonder how hes going to manage that coalition once he gets elected. Of course he is known as not being the most stable of persons also, so we are hoping that the public will vote for the more sane choice, which is Jokowi. abc.net.au/lateline/content/2014/s4019860.htm
