Abstract :
What the current governments of Indonesia and Australia can do to restrengthen its bilateral relationship? This question is timely to be raised up, as President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) assumed his presidency when IndonesiaAustralia relationship was once again at its low point following the revelations of Australia’s spy agencies targeted Indonesia’s high ranking officers. The relationship further deteriorated following the refusal of President Jokowi over the request clemency from death sentence of two Australians, found guilty in 2006 of being the ringleaders of a gang which plotted to smuggle heroin out the country from Bali. This paper is on the view that in order to revitalize the bilateral relationship of Indonesia and Australia, both governments can learn from what once utilized since the 1980s, that is building relations by a so-called setting up a mateship diplomacy. Direct hotline communications between officers needs to be broadening while at the same time people-to-people contact at large needs to be deepened. This way would give both side ample vanues where both governments could see more shared similiarties of interests, which eventually becoming fertile seeds for a further meaningful collaborations.
