Just your annual reminder that Australia’s foreign policy is still closely tied to US military interests…
Both the AUKUS deal and bases like Pine Gap keep us dependant on the increasingly dangerous and erratic Trump-led US.
AUKUS is also costing Australia $386 billion that could be better spent on things Australians actually need, from public housing to cost of living relief.
It’s past time we ended this toxic deal and built our own independent, peaceful foreign policy.
