Rob (Robert) Goodfellow
  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rob Goodfellow is a distinguished international author, researcher, Australian Federal Government Registered Lobbyist and Principal Consultant with Australian-based Cultural Consulting.

Goodfellow has been active for over 25 years in the fields of cross-cultural studies and project development, especially for the not-for-profit sector. He holds a BA honors degree and a PhD (Indonesian history) from the University of Wollongong.1

Goodfellow was born in Toronto, Ontario Canada in 1960 and now lives in Wollongong, New South Wales.

He is the author or co-author of 14 internationally published books including Forty Delicious Years. This chronicles the times and life of the ‘Mother of Balinese Tourism’, Ni Wayan Murni. In her review, Dr Vivienne Kruger described the work as, “One of the finest books ever produced about the mystical, legendary, god-blessed island of Bali—the sacred, unsullied morning of the world.” 2

His research published in Inside Indonesia’s 1993 10th Anniversary Edition had a far-reaching influence on Australian Government policy on strategies to engage with Australia’s closest Asian neighbor through people-to-people cultural programs.3

Goodfellow’s 1998 work on historical memory and the Indonesian Killings of 1965 also played an important part in creating new thinking about the historical treatment of these massacres.4

In 2002 Goodfellow was the advisor for the groundbreaking Wollongong City Gallery, Australian Government Visions of Australia/ University of Wollongong/ sponsored ‘Tracking Cloth’ exhibition of textile and fibre art that toured the Indonesian cities of Denpasar, Yogyakarta and Jakarta. On opening the Bali Arts Festival, the Indonesian President Megawati Soekarnoputri stated that, “The exhibition created a symbol of goodwill between our two neighbouring nations”. This goodwill was also reflected in the calibre of exhibition patrons, which included the Governor of Bali, Dewa Beratha, the Crown Princess of Yogyakarta, Sri Gusti Pembayun, and in Jakarta General (Retired) Luhut Binsar Panjaitan.5

Opportunities that arose from Tracking Cloth included the Australia-Indonesia Institute sponsored 2003 exchange of senior Indonesian museum curatorial staff from Medan, North Sumatra, to Australia;6 the 2005 Australia-Indonesia Institute sponsored Indonesian tour of the BlueScope Youth Orchestra and the Australian Boys Choir;7-9 the 2006 community fundraising appeal in Wollongong for survivors of the Yogyakarta Earthquake; the 2008 Australian visit of the executive members of the Indonesian Contractors Association (GAPENSI); and the 2009 ‘Hearts and Minds’ Australia-Indonesia Institute sponsored tour of Young Australian Muslims to Indonesia.10-16

In 2005-2007 Goodfellow was the special advisor to Major General (Retired) Mike Smith, CEO of AUSTCARE. In this capacity, together with Peter O’Neill (OAM), he negotiated AUSTCARE’s registration to operate as an international aid organisation throughout Indonesia.

In 2007 he negotiated an agreement through the office of former Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid and The Roof of the World Foundation on behalf of stateless Tibetans living in India on Indian-non-passport travel documents. The purpose was to create opportunities for young Tibetans to advance interfaith dialogue in Indonesia. This required the development of new Indonesian diplomatic policies and procedures in respect to stateless persons.

In 2010 Goodfellow and O’Neill began negotiating, pro bono, with the Indonesian Government, for the adoption of the first (and to date only) Indonesian (Balinese) orphan to be officially adopted by a non-Indonesian family. This created a diplomatic and bureaucratic template for future overseas adoptions. The adoption was finalized in 2010 and Permanent Residency to Australia for the adopted child was granted in 2011.17

Goodfellow was co-convener of ‘The Illawarra and Shoalhaven Drug and Alcohol Summit 1999-2000: A Regional Response’. This was the only regional policy platform to arise from the 1999 New South Wales Drug Summit.18,19

Goodfellow is a Justice of the Peace (J.P) in New South Wales (Australia). His blog can be found in the footnotes.20

He also has the honor of being the first non-Muslim to teach in the International Program of the Islamic University of Indonesia-Yogyakarta.21

Additionally one of Goodfellow’s co-authored books has the distinction of being the only publication with a foreword by Dr Edward de Bono.22

The London-based actor and Founder/Artistic Director of the RedBellyBlack Theatre Company, Kate Goodfellow, is his daughter.23
