After the WWII Australia's relations with Asia changed rapidly!. During the war Japan swept through South-East Asia!. The British were defeated in Malaya, Borneo, Singapore and Burma!. The French fell in Indochina, the Dutch fell the in the East Indies, and the Americans lost power over the Philippines!. This was a tremendous blow the western colonial powers!. The Japanese success at the start of World War II encouraged Asian nationalism!. There were nationalist movements in British India led by Gandhi, in the Ditch East Indies led by Sukarno and was a vital part of the Asian region , that there were enormous trade opportunities and that the links to Britain were declining!. Australia forged new relationships with old foes such as China and with the new Asian states, which were modernising and developing their economies!.

In the late 1950's the Australian government gave considerable support to the Indonesians as they struggled to achieve their independence from the Dutch!. Since the Labor party supported the concept of decolonisation, Australia believed Indonesia should become and independent nation!.

Australia's view on communism on Asia after ww2 :
As all the political and economic changes of the fifth continent Australia's approach to Asia is a gradual process!. With the political recognition of the People's Republic of China Australia gave up its strict anticommunist attitude, regarding its alliances with the USA as of secondary importance to its future policies and trying to find its own political position!. The political approach to Asia was accompanied by an economic one after Britain's entry into the EEC that caused a restraint on trade for Australian products on the British market!. The intensive relationship with the highly industrialized Japan gave remarkable impulses to the economic develoment of Australia; the trade relations to the other countries of Asia, especially to those of South-East Asia, were expanded!.
An enlarged foreign trade with these countries, however, requires the establishment and expansion of the native industries and markets as well as their organisation and the stabilization of their financial powers to enable them to export products important to Australia and to receive Australian exports of high value on normal terms!. So not only humanitarian and political reasons but sturdy economic interests are at the bottom of Australia's economic and technical aid given to these countries!.
Although Australia's approach to Asia still excludes a change of its immigration regulations for the time being it can already be regarded as efficient!. By this approach Australia aims, in its own interest, at the political stability of South-East Asia and the Pacific and at the economic development of the countries in this region!.
