Out Of Their Own Mouths- Government Subservience To USA

Written by: Ned K. on 15 January 2025

The Australian Government has accepted the invitation to President -Elect Donald Trump’s inauguration as the next President of the USA.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong and Australia’s Ambassador to the USA Kevin Rudd will represent the Australian Government.

It is not a surprise that the Australian Government has been invited as US imperialism has economic and military interests in Australia, whether Democrats or Republicans win a US Presidential election.

What is worth noting is the Australian Foreign Minister’s clear position on the ALP Government’s relationship with the biggest imperialist power, the USA.

In an ABC radio interview on the weekend she is reported to say that the invitation to the inauguration “Is a demonstration of the steadfast alliance between Australia and the US. I am also looking forward to meeting with members of the Trump administration and congress during my visit.”

“The US is Australia’s vital ally, closest global partner and most important strategic relationship. This early visit will be an important opportunity to discuss how we can advance the benefits of our strong economic and security partnership and expand our cooperation “.

Reading between the lines,  the Albanese Government is hoping Australian Government's tariffs on Australian imports to the USA and to ensure that the military and economic investments in Australia continue.

The Foreign Minister’s words do not contain even the slightest mention of Australia having any independence from the USA militarily or economically or politically.

It may be worth remembering the Foreign Minister’s words and reflect on them in 12 month’s time if the Albanese Government is still the government after this year’s federal election.
