Initially Australia answered the British dog whistle and rushed to help defend the Middle East against a Germany which posed no direct threat to Australia. When Japan entered the war, Australia's focus switched to a valid self-defence approach against Japanese forces moving south, and General Macarthur;s headquarters was located in Brisbane. When the American counter advance moved to the Philippines Australian forces were engaged in recovering its territories in New Guinea, and were given the side-job of recovering the British colonial territories in Borneo to keep them busy.
Even though there were strong internal pressures to reduce Australian commitment as the war moved to a climax in the invasion of Japan to be carried out by US forces, Australia continued with these side commitments in order to maintain a voice in the post-war settlement, and a part of the occupation force in Japan post-war.
We trust our national defence force and can rely on them to protect us.

Of course. If it hadn't been for us fighting in WW2, it probably would not have been won by the allies. However, our involvement was unavoidable no matter how long it took.
There were many changes that took place within the course of World War I following the Russian Revolution. One major change that this had on the war was that Russia and Germany settled their conflict.
Internationalism would be involvement in world affairs. Isolationism is seperating from world affairs
