Anti-Australian sentiment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Anti-Austrian sentiment.

Anti-Australian sentiment (also known as Australophobia or Anti-Australianism) refers to hostile sentiment toward the nation of Australia or its people.

History[]

One of the earliest references to the specific phrase "Anti-Australian sentiment" occurred in 1983 in relation to anti-independence groups in New Caledonia.[1]

In 1948 there were anti-Australian sentiments in Singapore by their citizens due the treatment over one of their countrywoman.[2]

The term "anti-Australian" also predates it by decades in that by 1949, people in parts of Asia were said to have "anti-Australian feeling" over how Australia applied its White Australia policy.[3]

In 2006 "anti-Australian sentiment" was reported in East Timor.[4]

Indonesia[]

Indonesia has been alleged to have a rise in "anti-Australian sentiment" because of suggestions of Australia interfering in its internal affairs.[5] A 2003 study on Indonesian aspirants for a diplomatic position reported that 95% of them had anti-Australian sentiment.[6] The post-Suharto era period also saw anti-Australian sentiment in Indonesia over East Timor.[7] In Indonesia, it is related to a generalised anti-Western sentiment.

The Australian intervention in East Timor still made the Indonesian government upset and led to it taking revenge on Australia by undermining the Australian interest in the Melanesian country.[8]
