Please give me one single reason why Indonesia would want to attack
Australia in any way?

To deliver Jihad to the "crusader infidels" after a Islamic revolution would
be one plausible reason.

JI have an expressed desire to create an Islamic republic similar to
the old MaPhilIndo lines, but incorporating the upper third or so of
Australia, as well as out friends in PNG.

I would call that a threat of low probability but extreme graveness.

Overall, it is just one risk that is too great to ignore, but still
one that is unlikely to occur.
