From the Paper:

"The ANZUS Treaty established a trilateral framework between the United States, Zealand defense system, it is also an expression of unity with Australia, the United States and the Western World.? Although collective security arrangements remain as valid today as they were in 1950, the ANZUS Treaty did not survive the Cold War. The defeat of Japan left six-allied nations - Australia, Britain, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United States-in uncontested control of almost all of Oceania. When in May 1964 Sukarno called upon 21 million volunteers to crush Malaysia, and his government told Australia not to interfere in what was basically an Asian problem, warning that if Australia did become involved then the responsibility would be Australia's alone.'
