===Later political activity=== [[File:Malcolm Fraser bust.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Bust of Malcolm Fraser by political cartoonist, caricaturist and sculptor [[Peter Nicholson (cartoonist)|Peter Nicholson]] located in the [[Prime Minister's Avenue]] in the [[Ballarat Botanical Gardens]]]] In December 2011, Fraser was highly critical of the Australian government's decision (also supported by the Liberal Party Opposition) to permit the export of uranium to India, relaxing the Fraser government's policy of banning sales of uranium to countries that are not signatories of the [[Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Fraser |first=Malcolm |title=Why Gillard's uranium-to-India policy is dangerously wrong |url=https://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politics/why-gillards-uraniumtoindia-policy-is-dangerously-wrong-20111211-1opki.html |access-date=12 December 2011 |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=12 December 2011 |archive-date=15 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120115014502/http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politics/why-gillards-uraniumtoindia-policy-is-dangerously-wrong-20111211-1opki.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2012, Fraser criticised the basing of US military forces in Australia.<ref>[http://militarytimes.com/blogs/battle-rattle/2012/04/23/a-flap-grows-down-under-over-new-usmc-rotations/ "A flap grows Down Under over new USMC rotations."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120429224523/http://militarytimes.com/blogs/battle-rattle/2012/04/23/a-flap-grows-down-under-over-new-usmc-rotations/ |date=29 April 2012 }} ''Marine Times''. 23 April 2012.</ref> In late 2012, Fraser wrote a foreword for the journal ''Jurisprudence'' where he openly criticised the current state of human rights in Australia and the Western World. "It is a sobering thought that in recent times, freedoms hard won through centuries of struggle, in the United Kingdom and elsewhere have been whittled away. In Australia alone we have laws that allow the secret detention of the innocent. We have had a vast expansion of the power of intelligence agencies. In many cases the onus of proof has been reversed and the justice that once prevailed has been gravely diminished."<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.jurisprudence.com.au/juris15/fraser_forward.pdf |journal=The Journal Jurisprudence |title=Summer Term 2012 β Foreword |volume=15 |date=September 2012|access-date=4 December 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130408231946/http://jurisprudence.com.au/juris15/fraser_forward.pdf|archive-date=8 April 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> In July 2013, Fraser endorsed [[Australian Greens]] [[Australian Senate|Senator]] [[Sarah Hanson-Young]] for re-election in a television advertisement, stating she had been a "reasonable and fair-minded voice".<ref>[https://www.smh.com.au/national/malcolm-fraser-endorses-sarah-hansonyoung-in-tv-ad-20130728-2qs2k.html Malcolm Fraser endorses Sarah Hanson-Young in TV ad] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140729212204/http://www.smh.com.au/national/malcolm-fraser-endorses-sarah-hansonyoung-in-tv-ad-20130728-2qs2k.html |date=29 July 2014 }}.
