Why did Australia change its foreign policy as a result of World War 2?

Australia's foreign policy between 1901 (federation) and 1950 (the Korean war) was based upon the commonwealth. However after the formation of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, Australia was urged by Britain to relax their foreign policy. Not quite right. The word 'Commonwealth' means the people. The people of Australia were drawn into WW1 by the British as we were still a dominion of the British Empire at that stage. To answer the question correctly one must recognize that Australia remained a Colony of the British Empire until 1911. His Majesty King George V proclaimed Australia a 'Dominion' of the British Empire in 1911, and we remained a Dominion of The British Empire until 1919. Australia achieved independent sovereign nationhood status following the end of WW1 and was welcomed into the family of nations as a foundation member state of the League of Nations at the time of the signing of 'The Treaty of Versailles' on the 28th June, 1919. This historical chapter in Australia's history took place in the 'Hall of Mirrors' at the Palace of Versailles in France. So Australia's foreign policy up until 1919 was that of the British Parliament as Australia was still a Dominion of the British Empire. Australia's foreign policy changed in early 1920 when the League of Nations Covenant & Charter became International Law. Australia spoke for itself as an independent sovereign nation on foreign policy issues from that date.

What did the British first see of Australia?

The first sight the British had of Australia was barren desert. The first British man to come to Australia was William Dampier, who first landed on Western Australia's coast on 4 January 1688. His reports of Australia were decidedly unimpressive, and he even described the indigenous people as the "miserablest people in the world". Dampier felt the land was flat and unwelcoming, and held no promise for future settlement. This changed after James Cook sighted e eastern coast, which was rich and fertile. Cook saw dense bushland, clear harbours and the prospects for colonisation.
