Analysis in The Australia 31/7/2010 about what the defence public servants are saying about what Tony Abbott would likely do in foreign policy:
Increasing Australia’s troop commitment in Afghanistan
Would look favourably at Australian troops replacing Dutch troops in Oruzgan province in Afghanistan
Would want more ‘bang for his buck’ out of Defence to reduce civilian-to-uniform ratio within the ADF
Australia would sell uranium to India
Strong policy convictions about India
Would continue every effort with Indonesia.
Deep commitment to the Western alliance (Anglosphere) as a key to global stability and to Australia doing more within that alliance
A big early challenge for an Abbott government in relations with Beijing with the Chinese seeking to expand their prerogatives.
Shows little sign of possessing deep systematic specific knowledge of international politics.
