Expat Indonesians living in Australia have lined up for hours to vote in their country's election, with an estimated 15,000
casting their ballots at Indonesia's consulate in Melbourne, according to the Indonesian Overseas Election Committee.

Key points:

* Many Indonesians in Australia are first-time voters and waited for hours to cast their ballots

* Thousands did not register in advance, but decided to vote to determine their country's future

* They said corruption, protections for minorities, and effective governance are key issues

It is warming to see "protections for minorities" is a top priority of those Indonesians.
