Comes down to if you are using V1 or V2 history

V1 has no mention of Australia and Indonesia at war and also no mention of Japan getting hit by the USSR - if anything the V1 Soviet vehicle guide implies an intact Japan that is spreading thru what is left of the USSR in an attempt to start trade with what is left -which is hardly what a nuked country would be doing

V2 on the other hand has the Australia Indonesia conflict and Japan getting nuked

The fact that his history mentions the air strikes on Vietnam (which in V2 has a US division stationed there and no Soviet ones) means we are looking at a V1 sourcebook - thus that leaves the Australian Navy free to engage the Soviets if they were involved in the war
