Book excerpt: Excerpt from Australian Defences and New Guinea: Compiled From the Papers of the Late Major-General Sir Peter Scratchley, R. E., K. C. M. G I have endeavoured in these pages to place on record the work done by the late Major-General Sir Peter Scratchley, in connection with Australian Defences, and as Her Majesty's Special Commissioner for New Guinea. The opinions of a man, whose suggested System of Defence for our Australasian Colonies has been, in its salient points, actually adopted, can scarcely fail to be of public interest in the mother-country; and I am authorised by the Colonial Secretary of State to say that he fully recognises Sir Peter Scratchley's important services to the Empire, more especially those in connection with the defences of Australia. The account of New Guinea not only gives the most recent and accurate information respecting a comparatively unknown territory, but affords an insight into the opinions of one who possessed both experience and knowledge of the people and politics of Australasia.

Book Synopsis Australia's Northern Shield? by : Bruce Hunt
Download or read book Australia's Northern Shield? written by Bruce Hunt. This book was released on 2017. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to draw extensively on the recently released highly classified notes of the cabinet room discussions of successive Australian Governments, from 1950 to the mid-1970s. It details the changing attitude of the nation's leaders towards the place of Papua New Guinea in Australia's defense and security outlook. The Cabinet Notebooks provide an uncensored and unprecedented insight into the opinion of Australia's leaders towards Indonesia under Sukarno, Southeast Asia and Indo-China in general; the changing nature of relations with Britain and the United States; and towards Papua New Guinea. The cabinet room discussions reveal attitudes towards Asia and Australia's place in the region which are more nuanced, varied, and sensitive than previously known. They also illustrate the dominant influence of Prime Minister Robert Menzies and Deputy Prime Minister John McEwen in shaping Australia's response to the critical events of the time. Australia's Northern Shield? shows how, since colonial times, Australia has assessed the importance of Papua New Guinea by examining the ambitions of and threats from external sources, principally Imperial Germany, Japan, and Indonesia. It examines the significant change in Australia's attitude as this region approached independence in 1975, amid concerns as to the new nation's future stability and unity. The terms of Australia's long-term defense undertaking are examined in detail, and an examination is offered of the most recent attempts to define the strategic importance of Papua New Guinea to Australia.
