Around 7 years ago Australia and East Timor signed an unusual treaty called the CMATS. This ensured that some important revenue – from billions of dollars’ worth of oil and gas under the Timor Sea – would be split 50/50.

Because if permanent maritime borders were drawn up, all the oil and gas might belong to them.
