IAN HALL<\/a> |<\/p>\n

Reports that the Indian government intends to block Australia\u2019s participation in this year\u2019s Malabar naval exercises are a setback for Canberra. However, better indicators of the health of the Australia-India bilateral relationship may be found elsewhere.<\/p>\n

When Malcolm Turnbull returned from India earlier this month, it looked as though the Australia-India partnership was back on track<\/a>, with renewed investment in bilateral educational diplomacy and a broadening of security ties. True, both sides conceded that they were unlikely to conclude the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA), despite six years of negotiation, but the overall mood was reasonably positive. The inevitable Modi-Turnbull selfies were snapped and respects were paid to industrial titan Gautam Adani and cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar.<\/p>\n

But as quickly as the bilateral bonhomie was established, it was apparently forgotten. On Turnbull\u2019s return to Canberra, the government announced that it was to scrap 457 visas, of which more than a quarter<\/a> are granted to Indian nationals. Given that labour mobility from India to Australia was reportedly one of the rocks on which CECA foundered, this news could hardly have been received with alacrity in New Delhi. Nor was it taken well by Indian students<\/a> in, or intending to come to, Australia. It prompted Minister for Education and Training Senator Simon Birmingham to take to social media<\/a> to try to calm jangled Indian nerves.<\/p>\n

Then came news that India was reluctant to permit an Australian official to observe this year\u2019s iteration of the annual Exercise Malabar that the Indian navy conducts with Japan and the United States. The ABC\u2019s defence correspondent Andrew Greene reported <\/a>that some in New Delhi were concerned that admitting an Australian observer might antagonise Beijing. Oddly, this story emerged on the same day that Defence Minister Marise Payne declared during a visit to Tokyo that Australia was \u201cvery interested\u201d in renewed \u201cquadrilateral engagement\u201d with India, Japan and the United States. It made reading the tea leaves of the Australia-India relationship even more trying than normal.<\/p>\n

If a week is a long time in politics, two are clearly an age in Australia-India diplomacy. Taking a step back, it is possible to put these ups and downs\u2014and the Exercise Malabar issue\u2014into some perspective.<\/p>\n
