2012 promises to be yet another massive year in global politics, with Europe in deep financial trouble, a US election campaign in full swing, rumblings and ructions throughout the Middle East, foreign forces closer to withdrawal from Afghanistan after a decade of mixed results in the struggle against the Taliban, Papua New Guinea in crisis, and that's just for starters. In Australia, it's set to be a make-or-break year for the minority Labor government of Prime Minister Julia Gillard. The Opposition has headed the government in the polls for more than a year. Now Opposition Leader Tony Abbott is promising that if he wins the next election he would have a foreign policy focussing on "Jakarta rather than Geneva". Julie Bishop is Australia's shadow foreign minister.
