 Welcome to Aceh, Indonesia. This was once a busy market gateway to East Africa, the Middle East and Asia, but it fell away after years of civil conflict and the biggest tsunami the world had ever seen. Suddenly, before I realised everything, that very big wave had hit us all. I was taken from the city to the sea, up to the middle of the sea, and then another wave came again. It took me again very close to the land. I got to my residence again, but it doesn't look like my residence anymore because all the buildings have been destroyed. So at that time I realised that I will not be able to find anything like that. The 10-metre-high wall of water that thundered through her once-pniate seaside community took 90% of the people who lived there. Nettie lost her two young children. After a while, we realised that we need shelter. We need a house to live. I saw some people want to move back to what I saw was a very dangerous area. So what is the criteria for the buffer zone? So what is the criteria for the safe place? Determined to help communities like hers build back better, Nettie moved away from her career in chemical engineering. She applied for and won an Australia Rewards Scholarship to study a Masters of Urban and Regional Planning at Curtin University. When we studied, there was no right or wrong. It was just different. So different opinions could be applied in one particular case. So it is quite interesting to enrich my view of how we should think. Ten years on from the tsunami, Aceh has healed. Even so, it remains one of Indonesia's poorest regions. One in three families live below the poverty line. To boost our economy, we need the capital from the private sector. Today, Nettie leads promotion at the Aceh Investment Coordinating Board. She is using the planning skills she learned in Australia to attract investors to Aceh before the focus was on simply promoting the region's potential. Now her team prepares investment profiles with full land surveys. This has boosted confidence among investors, investors like Australian cattle breeder Harry Lawson. Lawson's Angus is a family business that's nearly 50 years old. So it was really started by my parents who built it from scratch. This farm breeds some of Australia's finest Angus cattle. Recently, Lawson Angus started sharing its world-class breeding technology with Aceh. The Aceh beef farm should be amongst the most productive and profitable in the world. And they're not at the moment because they're not linked in in terms of technology, genetic, management systems, nutrition, beef processing, marketing. But the potential is clearly there. At the market, it's all smiles as families buy beef to celebrate the start of Ramadan. The average Archenese consumes only two kilos of beef annually. It's a luxury item. The Australian cattle breeder is collaborating with Archenese farmers. This partnership will involve importing an initial breeding pool alongside expertise to improve animal welfare, nutrition and sustainable land management. The hope is to build a viable beef industry that benefits farmers in both countries. Our vision is to be one of the leading investment destinations in Indonesia. We invest locally but think globally. This is one of the many successful investment partnerships that Netty and her team have helped facilitate. In recent months, for example, another foreign investor started work on a major fish processing centre. Many stand to benefit. My name is Rusht and I'm a fish seller. For the sellers, if there is a lot of fish coming in, then we don't make many sales. Our hope is that the new fish processing centre will help stabilise the price. Really Netty to us, she's the critical person. She's hugely passionate about Archenese. The fact that she studied in Australia, there's no worries, Harry-type attitude. So she gets our culture. Netty's been able to teach us a lot in a short time about her culture. I have been in the situation of life and death, but suddenly God gives me another chance to live. I believe it has a purpose. With the knowledge she gained in Australia, Netty's purpose now lies in showing the world a new face of Archen, so that the region can once again grow and prosper as an international trading hub.
