Does Australia need an independent foreign policy?

from The Sound of Solidarity · host solidarity.net.au

Many have described the deal as a surrender of Australian sovereignty and call for an independent foreign policy. But as Phil Griffiths explained at a recent Solidarity forum, Australia's rulers have always been enthusiastic to take part in wars to strengthen their control and profits. Socialists need to reject Australian imperialism and fight for international workers' solidarity.
