what does the Indonesia agreement really mean?, page-3

Not sure how a military alliance with an independent country will be reliable or not for Austalia.

Indonesia does not allow foreign countries to establish military on its soil, they consider it an insult to their sovereignty, their national policy is "independent and active" (bebas dan akif). For example, they refuse to allow US fly P8 Poseidon spy plane to operate from Indonesian territory.

Since Australia is not independent country, it is difficult to see how reliable Indonesia will be in the event of conflict led by US that Australia will follow automatically but Indonesia will not if they think it is not in their best interest.

It's like India, they have proven to be the weakest link in the QUAD and placed whole QUAD at risk because they are also independent and non-aligned, they just do whatever is in their best interest.
