Independent Australian Foreign Policy
Australia should decide its own foreign policy on the merits — including when we work with allies, and when we do not simply follow them.
Alliances are a choice, not a reflex. Australians across the spectrum want a country that can say yes to partners when it serves our interests, and no when it does not.
This is not an argument for isolation, and it is not an argument for outsourcing our judgment to Washington, Beijing, or anyone else. It is an argument for Parliament being honest about what we are signing up to, and for MPs hearing from voters before they lock in the next decade of commitments.
Your letter asks your MP to treat Australian foreign policy as something they have to explain — not a habit they inherited.
Letter
