Australia’s Foreign Arrangements Scheme, created in 2020 following the shock of Victoria signing onto the Chinese Communist Party’s Belt and Road Initiative, is one. Australia’s foreign policy, for example, is imagined as Canberra meeting the world. But a review of the Foreign Arrangements Scheme by Rosemary Huxtable has confirmed that the distinction between ‘foreign’ and ‘domestic’ no longer holds. And it is this unique role that has made the Foreign Arrangements Scheme such a critical tool for Australia, and a model for others to draw from. Australia’s Foreign Arrangements Scheme now sits centrally as part of a latticework of safeguards that cut across portfolios and ministers, each playing a distinct role in shoring up Australia’s resilience.
