	APPLICATIONS FOR MINISTERIAL REVIEW - MISCARRIAGES OF JUSTICE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Historically, at common law the only power to revisit a criminal conviction was found in the "Royal Prerogative of Mercy." When Canada's Criminal Code was enacted in 1892, it recognized the potential for miscarriages of justice and provided a legislative remedy by codifying one aspect of the Prerogative.
		The CCRG presently consists of five criminal lawyers and two support staff, all of whom are permanent employees of the Department.
		By the end of the reporting period, the full-time legal staff expanded to five with the addition of a fourth lawyer in July 2003 and a fifth in February 2004.

	Five Power Defence Arrangements - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA) are a series of defence relationships established by bilateral agreements between the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore signed in 1971, whereby the five nations will consult each other in the event of external aggression or threat of attack against Malaysia or Singapore.
		The FPDA was set up following the termination of the United Kingdom's defence guarantees of Malaysia and Singapore as a result of Britain's decision in 1967 to withdraw its forces east of Suez.
		In 1981, the five powers organised the first annual land and naval exercises.

	The Hindu : The five who matter
		The latest meeting of the FPDA Defence Ministers in Singapore on July 4 and the related military exercise, coded `Flying Fish', have demonstrated that the Arrangements are kept fine-tuned.
		First, the FPDA reaffirmed a principle of back-to-the-basics, as it were, by acknowledging that the external defence of both Malaysia and Singapore ``is indivisible''.
		In one sense, the FPDA was devised as a confidence-building mechanism involving Malaysia and Singapore in a context in which Indonesia was perceived to be a potential regional hegemon with or without some form of a communist identity.

	Australia's Maritime Strategy in the 21st century
		Defence 2000 continued along the same lines as ASP97 emphasising that ‘the key to defending Australia is to control the air and sea approaches to our continent, so as to deny them to hostile ships and aircraft, and provide maximum freedom of action for our forces’ and concluding that this requires a fundamentally maritime strategy.
		Deterrence is an exercise of national power which, like coercion or seduction, uses elements of national power, more likely the military, to prevent an adversary from undertaking a course of action that the nation regards as undesirable, by threatening to inflict unacceptable costs upon the adversary in the event that the action is taken.
		The 2000 Defence White Paper recognised this change and called for a force that is balanced ‘between the demands of operations on Australian territory and the demands of deployments offshore’, however it did not adequately address the ambiguity as force structure determinants were still stated to be focused on the defence of Australia.

		The need for a strong defence to protect our independence and sovereignty and to provide us with the political space and the freedom to act in the best interests of our people is the basic foundation upon which everything else is built.
		One good example is the Five Power Defence Arrangements we entered into in 1971 with Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
		Cooperation among defence agencies and armed forces has taken on greater urgency since 9/11 as we all recognise that the security of nations is intertwined.

		Changes in defence policy, in particular, are often responses to, or causes for, major adaptations in the international system, or in regional priorities.
		Overall, total defence spending in ASEAN nations as a group is now beginning to outstrip that of Australia, but in national terms Australia's budget remains by far the largest, e.g.
		It is also possible that defence planning, as outlined in the White Paper, are not proactive enough in relation to issues such as chemical and biological weapons, new missile systems, and 'preparations by others for waging cyberwar' (Babbage 2000, p13).

		We have plenty of bargaining power, but as usual Howard will not ruffle international feathers as he likes to be seen as “doing something” regardless of how ineffectual it really is. It always looks impressive on the surface though.
		The problem with using Singapore’s troop deployments as a bargaining chip is that it would lead to the demise of the Five Powers agreement, and, therefore, the only defense treaty we have outside of ANZUS.
		The Five Power Defence Arrangements look good on paper but in practice our defence policy is now yoked to US intelligence sharing and power projection.
