in dissent, brennan j suggested that there must be a nexus between australia and the 'external affair' involved. he held that, because the subject of war crimes in world war ii was not an external affair at the time, i.e., 1939 to 1945, the subsequent acquisition of citizenship or residence in australia by an individual was not enough to transform the subject matter into an external affair.
