For some time now a considerable number of well-informed Australians have been warning Anthony Albanese and his government not to allow personal flattery and uncertain commitments to allow the United States to gain control of Australian foreign policy and defence policies.
Yet unfortunately some leaders always know best, so the Albanese Cabinet has continued on its chosen path, grovelling to Washington and ignoring calls for a more professional assessment of Australia’s national interest. Richard Marles has swept aside any serious questioning of AUKUS and ministers have doggedly refused to comment on the illegal military assaults on Gaza and Lebanon.
