Here's my opinion on this based upon the information in the following links -

Indonesian Military Strength Statistics

and

Australian Military Strength Statistics

Army

Indonesian Army has a huge number of soldiers.....active, reserve and paramilitary compared to Australia....thats a given looking at the statistics and undisputable.

Navy

Indonesian has twice as many Navy ships as Australia.
Australia has 1 port more than Indonesia
Australia has 6 submarines compared to indonesias two.
Looking at the rest of the Navy statistics even thou Indonesia might be a "tad" more in most areas I think Australia would be a bit better than the Indonesian due to better training, technology.

Air-Force

Australia has 153 more aircraft than Indonesia....for an invasion of Australia they are going to need a hell of a lot more planes than that!

We have 116 more helicopters than them........

Australias Defence Budget is 22 Billion USD, Indonesias is 4.7 Billion USD....that is a HUGE difference....and considering how small in number our forces are you can bet we are developing and using worlds best technology and practice for that sort of coin.

The Indonesians could try and get all their troops here by sea thou very slowly and ineffectively due to the small number of ships they have, the number of troops they would need to bring in all at once and not including logistical facilities to ship over to build forward bases....... they sure as hell couldn't do it by air....

Australia would blast them out of the water with their navy before they could get an effective force on shore....our air force would destroy their planes before they got within striking distance of our shoreline, and our missiles would level any port/airport/base etc as soon as our Xband radar would cop a hint of an inpending attack.....

trust me, Australia would hold its own until backup would get here if it would....Australian in the face of adversity would enlist on masse.

We are not a country that you can just walk into and occupy......America cant do it with Iraq or Afghanaistan even with Nato assitance and to think a country like Indonesia could do it with Australia would be pure fantasy!

If you're talking about the Islamic world vs everyone else, I fear it would go badly for them in a truly global conflict. Surely no-one wants to see that kind of destruction again.

So far it hasn't gone badly for Islam. They've managed to change the election in Madrid, took down 2 giant buildings in NYC, committed over 10000 acts of terrorism since 911 and continue to grow in population at an alarming rate. They are car-b-quing Paris, banning cartoons in Denmark and shooting editors, they are demanding Sharia Law in all non-muslims countries, carrying out massive murder in Africa, killing Christians in Egypt and Iran, and it hasn't even begun.

Australia would win IMO. God forbid this war ever happens but:

Australia may have a smaller military, but it does have a lot of civilians that
have a huge advantage over anyone else on earth: They are Australian.
