TONY Abbott was warned in a phone message from a Victorian Senator that a group of activists were planning to break into the Australian consulate in Bali to stage a protest against the Indonesian Government ahead of the Prime Minister's arrival last night for the APEC summit. 

But he didn't get the message until after three West Papuans had climbed the wall of the building to deliver a letter to Mr Abbott calling for Australia's intervention in the disputed territory.

Sources have confirmed that DLP Senator Michael Madigan had left a message on the Prime Minister's mobile phone over the weekend warning him that some form of action involving West Papuan protestors and the Australian consulate could take place during his APEC visit in what was another potential diplomatic incident between Australian and Indonesia.

But the warning was not received until after the incident, which took place despite tight security in Bali ahead of the arrival of world leaders including the Russian and Chinese Presidents.

It is unclear what involvement, if any, Madigan may have had with the three activists who called for greater freedoms in a territory formerly known as Irian Jaya where Indonesian sovereignty is still under challenge from an Independence movement.

ButAbbott last night reportedly called Madigan back and warned him that he would not tolerate any form of anti-Indonesian protests.

He said the government would not tolerate protestors using Australian buildings to "grandstand" against Indonesia.

Abbott only last week told Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono that Australia would crack down on anti-Indonesian protestors in Australia.

The PM also told Mr Madigan that the situation in West Papua was improving, not worsening.

The West Papuans who scaled a two metre wall to gain access to the consulate on Sunday morning left the compound after the consul-general allegedly warned them that the Indonesian army would be called.The activists had asked the Australian government to apply pressure to Indonesia for the release of who they claimed were political prisoners.

The Greens accused the Australian government of putting the protestors live at risk by forcing them to leave the building but the government said they had left voluntarily.

Independent Senator Nick Xenephon called for an immediate explanation.

"These three young men were not asking for West Papuan independence from Indonesia. All they were asking for is entirely consistent with the Lombok Treaty of 2006, signed by both Australia and Indonesia," he said.

"Instead of getting sanctuary and help, the Australian government effectively threatened them and now there is serious concern over the activists' safety.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issued a statement claiming: "We can confirm that three individuals from Indonesia's Papua provinces delivered a protest letter at the Australian consulate-general in Bali this morning to Australia's consul-general. The three men left the consulate voluntarily before 7am."
