I think our government at the time wanted to cement relations with the US as Australian Foreign Policy shifted away from being reliant on Britain for support. Can't comment on the Kiwi's but assume it was much the same reasoning.

I know this sort of thing happens on all sides during conflict and that no-one hands can stay completely clean during a war. Just disappointing to hear about it so long after the event and in particular the attempt at covering the thing up by the authorities. Not unexpected, just disappointing.
