  • Australia and the Origins of ASEAN (1967–1975)
    1 Australia and the origins of ASEAN (1967–1975) The origins of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and of Australia’s relations with it are bound up in the period of the Cold War in East Asia from the late 1940s, and the serious internal and inter-state conflicts that developed in Southeast Asia in the 1950s and early 1960s. Vietnam and Laos were engulfed in internal wars with external involvement, and conflict ultimately spread to Cambodia. Further conflicts revolved around Indonesia’s unstable internal political order and its opposition to Britain’s efforts to secure the positions of its colonial territories in the region by fostering a federation that could include Malaya, Singapore and the states of North Borneo. The Federation of Malaysia was inaugurated in September 1963, but Singapore was forced to depart in August 1965 and became a separate state. ASEAN was established in August 1967 in an effort to ameliorate the serious tensions among the states that formed it, and to make a contribution towards a more stable regional environment. Australia was intensely interested in all these developments. To discuss these issues, this chapter covers in turn the background to the emergence of interest in regional cooperation in Southeast Asia after the Second World War, the period of Indonesia’s Konfrontasi of Malaysia, the formation of ASEAN and the inauguration of multilateral relations with ASEAN in 1974 by Gough Whitlam’s government, and Australia’s early interactions with ASEAN in the period 1974‒75. 7 ENGAGING THE NEIGHBOURS The Cold War era and early approaches towards regional cooperation The conception of ‘Southeast Asia’ as a distinct region in which states might wish to engage in regional cooperation emerged in an environment of international conflict and the end of the era of Western colonialism.1 Extensive communication and interactions developed in the pre-colonial era, but these were disrupted thoroughly by the arrival of Western powers.

  • Australia, the United States, and Southeast Asian Détente
    With Friends Like These: Australia, the United States, and Southeast Asian Détente Andrea Benvenuti, David Martin Jones Journal of Cold War Studies, Volume 21, Number 2, Spring 2019, pp. 27-57 (Article) Published by The MIT Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/726149 Access provided at 7 Jun 2019 05:49 GMT from UNSW Library With Friends Like These Australia, the United States, and Southeast Asian Détente ✣ Andrea Benvenuti and David Martin Jones The death of former Australian Labor Party (ALP) leader Edward Gough Whitlam in October 2014 offered an opportunity to reassess his politi- cal legacy. Most obituaries praised his tenure as prime minister (December 1972–October 1975). For Australian columnist Troy Bramston, Whitlam “was inimitable.”1 Paul Kelly, the Australian newspaper’s editor-at-large, main- tained that Whitlam “bequeathed to his successors a series of policy glories to be defended,” including “a more independent national ethos.” Indeed, “he was a rare leader who changed the nation’s direction.”2 Summarizing Whit- lam’s purported achievements, former Australian prime minister and Labor leader Paul Keating concluded that the election of Whitlam’s Labor Party to office in December 1972 released Australia “from the torpor of the Menzies era.”3 It also rescued Australia from its historic dependence on great and pow- erful friends. However, those of a more skeptical disposition found Whitlam’s achievements less impressive. Neil Brown, a columnist at the Spectator Aus- tralia and former Liberal Party deputy leader, thought Whitlam “a charmer, but a loser,” who could not exercise power.4 Australian economist Henry Er- gas argued that “Whitlam displayed a rigidity, compounded by arrogance.

  • Australian Asylum-Seeker Policies and the Use of the Past
    3. Oblivious to the obvious? Australian asylum-seeker policies and the use of the past Klaus Neumann References to the past play a crucial role in the development of government policy. Those drafting a new policy often try to heed what they consider to be historical lessons. In order to construct such lessons, they might, for example, analyse the effectiveness of analogous previous policies. Contributors to public debates about government policy, be it within or outside the parliamentary arena, also regularly draw on the past in support or criticism of new initiatives. In discussions about new policies, however, relevant pasts tend to be invoked selectively. Occasionally, policy makers or contributors to public debate ignore historical policies and practices. Often they do so because they assume that the situation prompting the formulation of a new policy is unprecedented. Two instances of a highly selective remembering of precedents and relevant historical contexts are the subject of this chapter. My first case concerns the development of an Australian Government response to the anticipated arrival of Vietnamese `boat people' in 1975; here, I am particularly concerned with the selective use of the past by policy makers. In the second caseÐa debate about a bill designed to prevent asylum-seekers from engaging Australia's protection obligationsÐI am concerned mainly with the public use of the past by supporters and opponents of the proposed legislation. In the first case, policy makers ignored what appeared to be highly relevant historical precedents in their deliberations. In the second case, contributors to public debate invoked histories that were blatantly inaccurate.

  • Parliamentary Debates (HANSARD)
    Parliamentary Debates (HANSARD) FORTIETH PARLIAMENT FIRST SESSION 2017 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Thursday, 25 May 2017 Legislative Council Thursday, 25 May 2017 THE PRESIDENT (Hon Kate Doust) took the chair at 10.00 am, and read prayers. CONVENTIONS, COURTESIES AND ETIQUETTE IN THE HOUSE Statement THE PRESIDENT (Hon Kate Doust): Members, as this is the beginning of the fortieth Parliament, I thought it timely to remind members of some of the conventions of this place, and the courtesies and standards of etiquette for this house. I draw members’ attention to “Legislative Council Procedural Note for Members No. 2 of 2011 Conventions and Courtesies of the House”. It would be beneficial to all members if they reacquainted themselves with this advice, particularly regarding the use of laptops and mobile phones in the house. These types of devices are permitted in the chamber and the Committee of the Whole House and can be used to make and receive email and text messages. They cannot, however, be used to make or receive voice calls or as cameras to record proceedings and should not be used as an aide-mémoire in debate. I also remind members that the use of these devices should be discreet and should not disrupt the proceedings of the house, and members should ensure that these devices are switched to silent, or they may risk having them temporarily confiscated for the balance of the sitting. The rules of etiquette in this house also differ slightly from those in another place and I would ask that members forward this advice to their staff and guests.

  • Australian Strategic Imaginaries
    Australian Strategic Imaginaries Samuel Murdoch Webster Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney A thesis submitted to fulfil requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2021 Samuel Webster Australian Strategic Imaginaries I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. 2 Samuel Webster Australian Strategic Imaginaries Abstract This thesis looks at the foreign and defence policies of the Australian Commonwealth from 1901 to 2020, with closest attention being paid to the period between 1942 and 1996. It argues that the thinking of Australian policymakers has been undergirded by a ‘strategic imagination’, a concept which provided a way of imagining Australia’s place in the world and situated Australian national identity in regional and international geo-politics. Since federation, the strategic imagination has itself undergone changes that were largely in reaction to external events. The history of Australian foreign and defence policy can thus be broken up into three broad and overlapping periods corresponding to three distinctive and shifting ways in which policymakers have imagined the geo-strategic landscape in which the national community resides. The first period, from the late nineteenth century to 1967, was greatly influenced by conceptions of Australia as a proud custodian of the British racial ideal in a world dominated by European empires. The second, from the mid-1940s to the early 1990s, was marked by the waning of empire and a developing Australian familiarity with emerging post-colonial states in Asia.

  • Legislative Council
    Legislative Council Tuesday, 5 September 2000 THE PRESIDENT (Hon George Cash) took the Chair at 3.30 pm, and read prayers. WILLESEE, HON WILLIAM FRANCIS Condolence Motion HON N.F. MOORE (Mining and Pastoral - Leader of the House) [3.32 pm]: I move - That this House expresses its deep regret at the death of Hon W.F. (Bill) Willesee, a former member of the Legislative Council for the North Province and the North-East Metropolitan Province, Minister for Community Welfare and Leader of the Government and Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council; and places on record its appreciation for his long public service, and tenders its profound sympathy to his wife and members of his family on their bereavement. Hon Bill Willesee had a distinguished career as a member of the Legislative Council for 20 years representing the North Province and the North-East Metropolitan Province. He was the Minister for Community Welfare from 1971 to 1973 and Leader of the Opposition and of the Government for seven years from 1966. At the same time he is remembered as a fair-minded, decent and unassuming man and a loyal member of the Australian Labor Party, well respected by his political opponents. Bill Willesee was born in Adelaide in December 1911, but grew up in Wyndham and at Carnarvon where he attended primary school. During this time his father unsuccessfully contested the districts of Kimberley and Gascoyne for the Australian Labor Party on three occasions, establishing a family tradition of political involvement. Bill Willesee left school at the age of 13 and began working for the Goldsborough Mort pastoral company while qualifying as an accountant after studying by correspondence.
