Seventy years on and Australia's unfinished twentieth century

In his memoir, Comrade Ambassador, Stephen FitzGerald recalls his time as a fledgling diplomat in the late 1960s. He characterises Australias China policy at the time as being illogical, delusional, and unsustainable (FitzGerald 2015a, 40). I wonder what adjectives he might use to describe this nations policies today, nearly half a century later?
