Although Australia remains geographically isolated from the world, international trade still remains a main factor that allows Australia’s economy to prosper. Australia’s long history of trade has created tight links and connections with other nations. Being a member of many worldwide organisations, Australia has produced many free trade agreements with countries around the world. However, recently Australia has seen a change in the composition and direction of its trade and has developed a strong trade link with the Asia-Pacific Region.

The bilateral relationship between Australia and Indonesia has a long but fluctuating history as ‘strange neighbours’, based on a traditional stance from Australian parties of Indonesia as the weaker state (Robert and Hadir 2015: 195). The discourse on Australia’s role in East Timor, particularly the intervention as the head of the UN sanctioned INTERFET team, has been praised or criticized depending on the narrative constructed of the events (Maley 2000: 151). Australia’s role in the East Timor crisis began through complicity in its causes, followed by a change in foreign policy which caused a deterioration of the Indonesia-Australia relationship at a time when Indonesia’s new democratic governance should have deepened relations (Sulistiyanto 2010: 125).

Jullia Gillard is the first woman prime minister in Australia who was her country’s twenty-seventh prime minister and head leader of the Australian government. She received a seat in the house of representative in 1998 and won a seat of labor in the federal election in Australia. After the election in 2001 Ms. Gillard became a member of the Shadow Cabinet.

Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, the spouse of Justin Trudeau (the prime minister of Canada), demanded that she wanted to have more staff for her affairs. According to Gregoire, she told the Le Soleil, “I need help. I need a team to help me serve the people” (Taube. M, 2016). She is very busy since she is the Prime Minister (PM)’s spouse and she has three kids, so she requested help. Some Canadians think her comments sound like snobbish, elitist, and entitled. On the other hand, others empathize with her comments as parents (Taube. M, 2016). Even tough Sophie Grogoire Trudeau is acting for staff, her request shouldn’t be granted, because her demand is unfair and selfish.

Australia has always been centered around diversity and change, specifically with the vast multiculturalism and migrant culture throughout the nation. The specifics of Identity hold an important role in shaping our identity as students and as a nation. Australians pride themselves on being a land of the free and full of diverse culture. This is specifically referred to in our national Anthem; “For those who've come across the seas, We've boundless plains to share; With courage let us all combine,”(McCormick, 1984).

Australian-Indonesian relations are the foreign relations between the two countries, whether economically, politically, legally or socially. Australian-Indonesian relations involve an interaction in foreign policies between the two nations (Wolfsohn, 1951, p. 68). As long as Indonesia is Australia 's closest and largest neighbor, they are bound to have great international relations. These relations began as early as the 17th century and had only become enhanced with time (Daly, 2003, p. 397). The relationship has been defined by a conjoint growth trade of up to $14 between the years 2011-2012 which reports an increase from the previous economic year (Mark, 2012, p.402). These countries are members of various trade deals such as the ASEAN Regional Forum in addition to having close ties with education, defense, and leadership.

This study however did not foresee a global financial crisis or stable strength of the Australian dollar and thus the real effect the FTA may have is still unclear. Regardless, China valued Australia as offering first world goods and services without the ‘political baggage that comes with Americans and Europeans.While the FTA negotiations have taken a fitful stop-start routine over the intervening years and despite Clive Palmer’s recent criticism towards the Chinese suggesting that they were ‘mongrels’ who ‘shoot their people’ and ‘haven’t got a justice system’, Australia’s Abbott Government has recognised the importance of Australia’s relationship with China. Prime Minister Abbott has been a quick learner in areas of international trade negotiations. He supported views recently in his speech addressing
