My teacher has got my book for marking but here is some of the stuff I have at home:

Historical Links with the US:

• Allied in WW2 against Japan - since Curtin's speech in 1942
• 1951 ANZUS Alliance
• 1954 SEATO Alliance
• 1950-53 Korean War
• 1965-75 Vietnam War
• 1990-91 Gulf War
• "War Against Terror" since 2001
• Afghanistan since Nov 2001
• Iraq 2003-2008

United States:

• Australia's most important defence partner is US
• Link originates from WW1
• Bilateral links involve: - Intelligence
• - Military Technology - training etc
• 2001 (Sept 11) was the first and only time the ANZUS treaty was invoked. By John Howard
• In 2003 Australia supported US in the war against Iraq - Rudd removed troops 2008

I have some more notes on the 'War Against Terrorism' and Iraq if you want them. Hope these have helped

NGO and Government Roles:

* Care Australia
* Amnesty International

Advantages and Disadvantages for Australia:
*Australia’s alliance with the United States is a major strategic asset. It contributes directly to our own security.
*It adds to our strategic weight and capability edge in the region, and our ability to protect our interests.
* Provides us access and influence in Washington out of all proportion to our size.
*This enhances our ability to pursue our international political, security and economic interests more broadly.
*Another important priority is defence industry cooperation. The alliance gives us an opportunity to maintain our capability edge in a world where the global economy means information-age technologies are quickly and widely shared.

Thats pretty much all I can find for the moment
