Looks like the Aussies are starting to believe that letting thugs with bombs blow up their citizens is a Bad Thing.
What the article really says is that the Assies and Phillipinos have agreed to rule changes that permit their anti-terrorism forces to cooperate. Changes made apparent and necessary by a small political problem created when Australia and Canada closed embassies in Manila. How that political problem resulted in discovery for rule changes is not mentioned. It appears that existing laws made some essential security cooperation impossible. The article cites changes so trivial that I can't believe anyone would even this article.
