Abstract
While the terrorist attacks against the United States on 11 September 2001 (9/11) shook much of the world to its core, the day’s catastrophic events were a world away for many Australians, who felt confident that geographical fortuity insulated them from international turmoil. This ill-fated perception, however, changed thirteen months later when terrorists bombed two night clubs in Kuta, Bali. Among the 202 people killed on 12 October 2002 were 88 Australian tourists. In response to the 9/11 and Bali atrocities and the changed security environment, Canberra took decisive and far-reaching action, both at home and abroad.
