		The first and most obvious reason is because Australia, by its actions, sits squarely in the interventionist camp, and is, or has been engaged in peace operations of the most intrusive nature for most of the last decade of the 20th Century.
		In Australia's region, most countries were colonies of European powers whose capacity to thwart the sovereign ambitions of these subservient peoples had been severely diminished by the Second World War.
		Indeed, western liberalism itself is beginning to question the role of government in protecting its constituents from the excesses of individualism and could do worse than take stock of Asian modesty and mutual respect in this regard.

	Western Australia
		Western Australia was, and indeed from its geographical position must have been, the first part of the continent to become actually known, lying as it does just off what was then the main trade route to the East.
		Although the existence of the western side of the continent had been known for certainly two, and possibly three, centuries, it was not until the third decade of the nineteenth century--some forty years after the foundation of the colony of New South Wales--that the British Government decided to take steps to found a settlement there.
		Further, Governor Stirling wished to settle colonists in the southern portions of the State (as may be seen from part of a dispatch to the Secretary of State dated 30 January 1830).
