PODCAST NOTES:
In this episode, we discuss Australia's unique relationship with the United States, ANZUS, Pine Gap and wading into AUKUS submarine deal. Guests Senator Jacqui Lambie and Dr. Emma Shortis provide insights into Australia's defence strategy and the challenges posed by reliance on foreign powers.
It’s a very silly and smart conversation — about one of the most complex relationships that underpins my own anxiety.
See you at the big show
