New Game New Rules: Australia in the Post-Trump World
We are witnesses to a unique time in history. Australia’s key national security partner, America, is rapidly losing its authority, credibility, legitimacy and standing. While there are challenges, Australian democracy continues to thrive enabled by the compulsory and preferential voting, separation of powers and strong institutions. In contrast, America, with failed leadership at presidential and cabinet level, and the decline in public ethics and morality, is creating an environment where anarchy and autocracy are thriving.
So, what can Australia learn from the implosion of America under Trump. Do we continue to support our security partner and its constant threats of annihilation of countries and use of nuclear weapons? Or should we strengthen the interlocking sets of rules that underpin prosperity, security and stability?
