Australia and Indonesia are one of the closest neighbouring countries, and even though they have had several issues between each other, they are still managed to promote a good relationship between them, yet it has been proven that Australia and Indonesia are difficult to forge a stable and productive relationship as the national interest of Australia and Indonesia have been conflicted from the last seven decades, regardless of which party has been controlling there in Canberra (8). Initially their relation has been apparently stimulated by the case of execution of Bali Nine ‘co-ringleaders’ Andre Chan and Myuran Sukumaran (6).

The Australian Criminal Justice system has an intricate and diverse structure that makes it one of the most unique systems in the world. The Commonwealth of Australia was approved by the British Parliament in 1900 and came into existence on January 1, 1901. The federal constitution combined British and American practices, with a parliamentary government, but with two houses - the popularly elected House of Representatives and Senate representing the former colonies. This began the start of a new era of policing. (Findlay, Odgers, Yeo). The Commonwealth of Australia is a federalist government composed of a national government and six State governments. There are nine different criminal justice systems in Australia - six states, two territories, and one federal.

Though Australia is a powerful country and is considered a main player in the surrounding area yet it is does not hold a primary rank in the global environment. Australia's contribution in military interventions beyond the Asia Pacific is smaller and follows the lead of another country such as the United States. The Australian Defense Force (ADF) has the capability to tackle with the crises in its neighborhood, because of emergence of security concerns constantly from Indonesia and many other smaller states. Australia has adopted a strategy to support and strengthen the presence of United States in the region. This mutual cooperation is very important for Australia as regards economy and security. Its alliance with United States has been due to many reasons.
In 2005, the discovery of the group was reported to the Indonesian Government by the Australian Federal Police, resulting in their arrest at the Denpasar Airport in Bali. The media named these men collectively as the “Bali Nine”. However, after Chan and Sukumaran were put

According to James M. Henslin, as of 2008, Indonesia is considered one of the least industrializing nations. Least industrializing nations account for 68 percent of the world’s people but only 49 percent of the earth’s land. These nations usually are filled with poverty. People that live in these nations have no running water, indoor plumbing, or access to teachers or doctors. The more the population grows the more stress it causes and gives them setbacks (p. 247, 249). Industries in Indonesia consist of agro-business, resource extraction and export, construction, and tourism. As of the 1970s, industrial sectors have been developed, commonly in Java around Jakarta and Surabaya and other cities along the north coast. In the outer islands is where agro-business and resource extraction is located. Much of Indonesia’s foreign exchange and domestic operating funds are supplied by these industries.
