Canberra is crude crass and without class in its pursuit of national-corporate interest in Southeast Asia. No wonder it is popularly disliked in the region. "This new policy is putting Australia’s economic interests ahead of what is in the best interest of the people of Burma, while dismissing human rights as a low priority on the country’s foreign policy agenda. Sadly, this is not unique to Burma. Australia’s foreign policy is becoming more and more centred on the country’s national interests. Senator Carr is being short sighted in focusing on trade and investment, rather than pushing a policy that would benefit Burma’s citizens, Australia and neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia." dvb.no/analysis/australia%E2%80%99s-pivot-on-burma-relations/29596
