Full Text of ANZUS Treaty
The alliance with the United States and New Zealand is the cornerstone of Australia's defence and foreign policies. Whilst New Zealand no longer participates to any extent in ANZUS, the 50-year-old agreement was invoked by the Australian Government in 2001 in response to the terrorist attacks on the US.
