'The transatlantic alliance and the larger rules-based order may not recover to a pre-2025 state. Australia’s leaders should make plans for a future in which it does not,' write @BethanyAllenEbr, Nathan Attrill and @fryan. https://t.co/x441TVUk9G

100 years ago Australia was swept up in a moral panic. The explosive claim that two white women were being held hostage by Yolŋu people in the NT caused national outrage - the fact there was no evidence made little impact.

My thoughts for the @LowyInstitute 2024 ASEAN-Australia Special Summit:

“Tuning out the noise and bluster of the superpowers as they posture and compete for influence will allow Australia to focus on a relationship that is indispensable and unavoidable”

As early as 1901 Australia was worried about hostile island bases in the Indian Ocean - going so far as requesting that London buy the Sub-Antarctic Kerguelen Islands from France. Check out my open access article 👇
