The short answer is \u2018not very much\u2019. And that\u2019s a good thing. In the past we\u2019ve had government and opposition policy pronouncements such as the 2009 Defence White Paper, proposed asylum seekers solutions in East Timor<\/a>, American Marines rotating through our north<\/a> and the proposed towing of boats back to Indonesia<\/a> that have raised the eyebrows of our near neighbours<\/a>. Some of the concern has been about language directly concerning Indonesia, some about a lack of consultation and some about the way we see regional security in general. This time, neither the text of the National Security Strategy<\/a> nor its launch have caused much of a stir in Jakarta, at least so far.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
