Abstract
Has much changed more than two decades after former Australian High Court Justice Michael Kirby AC CMG proposed his nine-point plan of action to solidify the legal relationship between India and Australia? This piece traces the evolution of that relationship from the time Kirby first envisioned a mutually beneficial legal partnership to the transformed landscape of the present day. After placing Kirby at the centre of initial efforts to reinvigorate the 'neglected relationship', this piece offers a structured explanation of how the association between India and Australia has progressed over the years. It presents a picture of how contemporary global politics, trade-driven cooperation and the emergence of parochial nationalism has impacted the course of interactions between the two countries. It concludes by re-emphasising Kirby's call for closer interaction between India and Australia, and the importance of intercultural learning in building a truly cooperative global community.
