The research for this study builds on a range of published government, media and academic sources, and interviews with nearly sixty Australian political leaders, public service officals and military officers. These interviews provide a deep and broad look at the Australian Government, from the top- level National Security Committee down to desk officers within the major departments of state. The subsequent examination of this evidence shows how the Australian Government operated during this crisis, as well as the broader impact of this crisis upon Australian policy. The study uses a policy cycle as an organisational and structural heuristic to examine this inherently messy process. Five essential characteristics of Australian policymaking in national security crises provide this work’s key finding. These characteristics can be summarised as a dominant executive, collegiality, a closed and secretive system, an essential role for external actors, and complex and complicated implementation. vii Acronyms and Abbreviations AEC Australian Electoral Commission ADF Australian Defence Force AFP Australian Federal Police ALP Australian Labor Party ANAO ustralian National Audit Office ANZUS Australian, New Zealand and United States Security Treaty APEC Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation ASEAN Association of Southeast Asian Nations ASIO Australian Security Intelligence Organisation ASIS Australian Secret Intelligence Service AusAID Australian International Aid Agency CDF Chief of the Defence Force COMAST Commander Australian Theatre DEP SEC S&I Deputy Secretary Strategy and Intelligence DFAT Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade DGET Director General East Timor DG ONA Director General of the Office of National Assessments DIO Defence Intelligence Organisation DDIO Director of the Defence Intelligence Organisation DOFA Department of Finance and Administration DPA Department of Political Affairs (United Nations) DPKO Department of Peace Keeping Operations (United Nations) DPM&C Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet ix Crisis Policymaking: Australia and the East Timor Crisis of 1999 DSD Defence Signals Directorate ETTF East Timor Task Force ETPU East Timor Policy Unit FADTRC Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee IDC Interdepartmental committee IMF International Monetary Fund INTERFET International Force in East Timor (UN abbreviation) KOPASSUS Komando Pasukan Khusus (Indonesian Special Forces Command) NGO Non-governmental organisation NSCC National Security Committee of Cabinet ONA Office of National Assessments SCG Strategic Command Group SCNS Secretaries Committee on National Security SES Senior Executive Service SPCG Strategic Policy Coordination Group TNI Tentara Nasional Indonesia (the Indonesian Army) UNAMET United Nations Mission in East Timor (11 June–25 October 1999) UNTAET United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (25 October 1999–20 May 2002) USPACOM US Pacific Command VCDF Vice Chief of the Defence Force x Bureaucratic Classifications In Australia, the Secretary is a department’s senior official. The Secretary is responsible for all aspects of the department’s performance and provides policy advice to the responsible minister of state. The Secretary is usually a career public servant, not a political appointee in the American sense. The equivalents in the Office of National Assessments (ONA), Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) and Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) are called ‘Director General’. The Department of Defence is a ‘diarchy’ where the Secretary and Chief of Defence Force (a General or equivalent) have separate responsibilities, but are jointly responsible to the Minister of Defence. The classifications below the Secretary in most departments are (compared to equivalent Australian Army officer ranks): • Deputy Secretary (Army equivalent: Lieutenant General) • First Assistant Secretary (Army equivalent: Major General) • Assistant Secretary (Army equivalent: Brigadier) • Director (Army equivalent: Colonel) • Deputy Director/Assistant Director (Army equivalent: Lieutenant Colonel) • Policy Officer (Army equivalent: Captain or Major) xi Acknowledgement While the responsibility for this work is mine, a number of people contributed in different ways. Firstly, I wish to acknowledge the people who brought independence to Timor-Leste: Timorese, Australian, Indonesian and others. Their sacrifice and contribution is a reminder of the human face of conflict and the imperative behind work such as this. My thanks also go to five other groups of people: my family, Jane, Georgia and Annabelle; a wonderful group of academic mentors including my PhD supervisors—Ross Babbage, Alan Stephens and Ron Huisken—and others including Hugh White, Bob Breen, Paul ‘t Hart, Des Ball and Rob Ayson; my wonderful friends and extended family; and my commanding officers and supervisors who encouraged me to continue studying and supported me through my studies and career. Thanks to for the editorial support from Scott Hopkins, Meredith Thatcher and Greg at Qote! xiii Chapter 1 Australian Policymaking and the East Timor Crisis An Under-Explored Topic The East Timor Crisis of 1999 has received considerable attention in Australia. This attention has included accounts of the events and the military operations that year, especially those involving the International Force East Timor (INTERFET).1 There have been some descriptions and analysis of how Australia’s actions in this crisis affected its regional standing,2 and one paper about how the crisis was managed between Washington and Canberra.3 There have been numerous books about the rights and wrongs of Australian policy,4 and a short but sharp critique by William Maley which focused on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).5 Unusually, DFAT also produced a book outlining its involvement in this crisis after only two years had passed.6 However, as James 1 A comprehensive account of the events of 1999 is presented in Don Greenless and Robert Garran, Deliverance: The Inside Story of East Timor’s Fight for Freedom, Allen and Unwin, Crows Nest, NSW, 2002.

The centre gives particular attention to Australia’s strategic neighbourhood of Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific. Participation in the centre’s activities is not limited to members of the university, but includes other interested professional, diplomatic and parliamentary groups. Research includes military, political, economic, scientific and technological aspects of strategic developments. Strategy, for the purpose of the centre, is defined in the broadest sense of embracing not only the control and application of military force, but also the peaceful settlement of disputes that could cause violence. This is the leading academic body in Australia specialising in these studies. Centre members give frequent lectures and seminars for other departments within the ANU and other universities and Australian service training institutions are heavily dependent upon SDSC assistance with the strategic studies sections of their courses.

  • Jim Molan Biography
    Jim Molan Biography Retiring from the Australian Army in July 2008 after 40 years, Jim Molan served across a broad range of command and staff appointments in operations, training, staff and military diplomacy. Jim has been an infantryman, an Indonesian speaker, a helicopter pilot, commander of army units from a thirty man platoon to a division of 15,000 soldiers, commander of the Australian Defence Colleges and commander of the evacuation force from the Solomon Islands in 2000. He has served in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, East Timor, Malaysia, Germany, the US and Iraq. In April 2004, Major General Molan deployed for a year to Iraq as the Coalition’s chief of operations, during a period of continuous and intense combat. On behalf of the US commanding general, he controlled the manoeuvre operations of all forces across all of Iraq, including the security of Iraq’s oil, electricity and rail infrastructure. This period covered the Iraqi elections in January 2005, and the pre-election shaping battles of Najaf, TalAfar, Samarra, Fallujah, and Ramadan 04. Described in the recently (2017) declassified ‘unofficial history’ of ‘Australia’s Participation in the Iraq War’ as “… the ADF member most directly involved in fighting the insurgents”, Major General Molan was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by the Australian Government for “distinguished command and leadership in action in Iraq”, and the Legion of Merit by the United States Government. Before retiring he was the Adviser to the Vice Chief of the Defence Force on Joint Warfighting and the first Defence Materiel Advocate, promoting Australian defence industry overseas.

Anne-Maree Tiernan BA (Australian National University) BComm (Hons) (Griffith University) Department of Politics and Public Policy, Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2004 Abstract This thesis traces the development of the ministerial staffing system in Australian Commonwealth government from 1972 to the present. It explores four aspects of its contemporary operations that are potentially problematic. These are: the accountability of ministerial staff, their conduct and behaviour, the adequacy of current arrangements for managing and controlling the staff, and their fit within a Westminster-style political system. In the thirty years since its formal introduction by the Whitlam government, the ministerial staffing system has evolved to become a powerful new political institution within the Australian core executive. Its growing importance is reflected in the significant growth in ministerial staff numbers, in their increasing seniority and status, and in the progressive expansion of their role and influence. There is now broad acceptance that ministerial staff play necessary and legitimate roles, assisting overloaded ministers to cope with the unrelenting demands of their jobs. However, recent controversies involving ministerial staff indicate that concerns persist about their accountability, about their role and conduct, and about their impact on the system of advice and support to ministers and prime ministers.

Its mandate ranges across all the dimensions of international policy debate in Australia – economic, political and strategic – and it is not limited to a particular geographic region. Its two core tasks are to: • produce distinctive research and fresh policy options for Australia’s international policy and to contribute to the wider international debate. • promote discussion of Australia’s role in the world by providing an accessible and high quality forum for discussion of Australian international relations through debates, seminars, lectures, dialogues and conferences. Lowy Institute Perspectives are occasional papers and speeches on international events and policy. The views expressed in this paper are the author’s own and not those of the Lowy Institute for International Policy. Grand Strategy, National Security and the Australian Defence Force Alan Dupont Is it an oxymoron to talk about a grand strategy for Australia? After all, we have rarely articulated a national strategy and certainly never a grand one. For much of our history a filial attachment to the national designs of Britain and later the United States, constrained our capacity to think for ourselves. Fortunately that era has long past. Since the late 1960s governments of all political persuasions have given considerable thought
