The Australian government of Prime Minister John Howard, elected in March 1996, is rethinking the country’s defence policy. Building on developments introduced by the previous Labor government – such as the December 1995 defence agreement with Indonesia and the rapid expansion of defence cooperation with Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries – the Howard administration is moving towards a more proactive and expansive national defence policy.
