Australia’s defence alliance with the United States seems to be a given.

But do we really need the Americans to protect us? The former Prime Minister Paul Keating doesn’t think so.

Paul Keating also dismisses Taiwan as ‘Chinese real estate’, a characterisation that veteran US politician, house speaker Nancy Pelosi describes as a ‘stupid statement’.

Today, Richard McGregor from the Lowy Institute on what walking away from the US would mean for our security.
