Development
The Defence of Australia (DOA) Policy was adopted after the previous policy of 'forward defence' was discredited in the public eye by Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War. The policy was developed during the 1970s and early 1980s before being formalised in the 'Dibb Report' of 1986 and the 1987 and 1994 Defence White Papers.
