A useful document I came across a few years ago which will go a long way towards figuring out what the spark was that ignited the Indonesia/Australia conflict.

Anyone got any thoughts on giving Australian and New Zealand an "On the Beach" sort of vibe?
The first half of the movie, rather than the inevitable death towards the end. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053137/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0219224/

I don't think so either, just looking about for ideas as without the war directly impacting the Australian mainland, it's hard to figure out what impact it would have had on a day to day basis. I'm thinking of pulling ideas and elements from there and similar stories such as Testament, Outbreak, and Panic In The Year Zero!
One idea I'm toying with is hitting the major urban areas with some sort of plague or bioweapon and adding in famine due to lack of fuel to shift grain and other produce to where it's needed most. Quarantine areas get set up, but due to the sprawling nature of Australian cities and limited manpower to patrol them, they're about as effective as flyscreen windows in a submarine.

I think the way society is portrayed in the first Mad Max movie would be suitable for those areas still under government control but I also think that The Rover is even better for that aspect.

RN7 popped up the figures for 1996/1997. For the sake of completion I'll put up those for 1989. Give a rough idea of the Cold war mindset.
Australia Total Armed forces Active: 69600 Reserve: 27580 (Increasing) Army: 25000 Navy: 12220 Air: 1360 Army (31300) 7 Military Districts Command Troops 1 Air Defence Regiment 1 Engineer Regiment (Construction) 1 Aviation Regiment 1 SAS Regiment (3 Sqns) 1 Inf Division 1 Mech Brigade (1 Armd, 1 Mech, 1 Para) 2 Inf Brigade ( 2 Inf Bn) 1 Recce Regiment 1 APC Regiment 4 Arty Regiment (1 Med, 3 Fd (1 Reserve) 1 Engr Reg 1 AVN 93 Hel, 1 ac sqn) (2 avn as hel transferring from Air force) Army Reserves 2 Div HQ 7 Brg HQ 3 Recce reg 3 APC Sqn 17 Inf Bn 1 Cdo 6 Arty Reg (1 Med, 5 Fd) 3 Field Artillery Battery 4 Engineer Regiment ( 2 Field, 2 construction) 3 Regional Surveillance units Army Equipment MBT: 103 Lepard 1A3 (42 Centurion in store) AIFV: 40 M113 with 76mm APC: 725 M113 Towed Artillery: 105mm 142 M2A2/L5 18 Hamel 15500 35 M-198 Mortars: 81mm:284 ATGW: 10 Milan RCL: 84MM: 574 Carl Gustav 106mm 73 M-40 SAM: 19 Rapier 19 RBS-70 Aircraft: 14 PC-6 Turbo-Porter 22 GAP N-22B Missionmaster Helicoper: 14 S-70 (Army/Air force Crew) 47 OH-58 Kiowa 47 206B Marine: 16 LCM 85 LARC-5 AMPH Craft Before you go handing out the in storage Lee-Enfields. Bear in mind that Australia obtained for the license to manufacture the Streyer AUG. So if production was ramped up, you should be able to equip any new forces before the nuclear strikes.
