The operation called for a stabilising effort in direct support of the Tonga Defence Services: a simple aim perhaps, but complex in detailed planning and execution.…..The Aussies initially provided a quick reaction force to deal with any flare-ups.

The Major said he felt that the people welcomed them in Tonga, and Tongans showed their appreciation by bringing food to the various checkpoints where they performed sentry duties. It is widely acknowledged that Tonga’s own Defence Forces were ready to restore law and order, but the timely infusion of professional reinforcement from the Australian and New Zealand Defence Services, was a most reassuring development for all the people of the country.”</span></span></p> </blockquote> <h2 align="left" style="text-align: justify;"><span><span></span></span><span>Commentary and analysis</span></h2> <p align="left" style="text-align: justify;"><span></span><span><span><a title="external-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170519085152/http://paxchristi-oz.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html">Pacific democracy: dilemmas of intervention</a>, Jon Fraenkel, Open Democracy, 28 November 2006</span></span></p> <blockquote dir="ltr"> <p align="left" style="text-align: justify;"><span><span></span></span><span>“Australian and New Zealand troops descended on riot-torn Tonga on 18 November 2006, after demonstrators burned down most of the business district in the capital, Nuku’alofa. The deployment represents the latest stepping up in Antipodean intervention along the southwest Pacific “arc of instability”. The regional formula implanted in many minds in recent years – local riots, security breakdowns, government crises, coup fears – appears to lend itself naturally to a call for such intervention as the most appropriate solvent for the Pacific Islands’ internal political tensions. But is it?”</span></p> </blockquote> <p align="left" style="text-align: justify;"><span></span><span><span><a title="external-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170519085152/http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=5205">Howard’s doctrine</a>, Shahar Hameiri, On line opinion, 28 November 2006</span></span></p> <blockquote dir="ltr"> <p align="left" style="text-align: justify;"><span><span></span></span><span><span>“The dispatching of Australian troops and Federal Police officers to the Kingdom of Tonga demonstrates just how much Australian foreign policy in the Pacific has changed in recent years. Australian Prime Minister John Howard called the Tonga mission an “act of brotherly generosity”, but in the not-so-distant past Australia had been very reluctant to commit its security forces to tackle the domestic security problems of its Pacific neighbours…..</span></span></p> <p align="left" style="text-align: justify;"><span><span></span></span><span><span>“…..W</span><span>hat the pro-democracy riots in Tonga represent, more than anything else, is the dissatisfaction of many Tongans with the market-friendly policies pursued by the late monarch Taufa’ahau Tupou IV, which have led to even greater concentration of wealth. </span><span>The Tongan Government’s reputation has also suffered in recent years as a result of a series of shady and unsuccessful investments and an unpopular clamp-down on media freedom in 2003. Combine this with a relatively well-educated population and the picture is not so much that of lawlessness but of political discontent. As with the April riots in Honiara, we once again see disaffection turn into racism, with Chinese shop-owners targeted by rioters.</span></span></p> <p align="left" style="text-align: justify;"><span><span></span></span><span><span>“The Australian Government, through its aid program, has attempted to shore up the very same market-friendly reforms that partly led to the recent riots. Furthermore, it is clear that there is no substitute for the current undemocratic power structure if economic reforms are to be further embedded, considering the country’s very uneven wealth distribution. Ironically, then, one arm of government was sent to contain a conflict that emerged in part due to policies promoted by another arm of government. Of course, Australian aid is only a fraction of the sum-total received by Tonga each year, but the emphasis on state building for market-led development is common to all major donors. </span></span><span><span>For as long as the fundamentals of the government’s development dogma remain unquestioned, Australian troops and police officers will continue to be deployed to Pacific states to put out spot-fires, without truly addressing the root of the problem.”</span></span></p> </blockquote> <h3 align="left" style="text-align: justify;"><span><span></span></span><span>See
