fraser (in the video) points out that America sided 3 times with Indonesia against Australian interests - but the Australian government has kept quiet about the matter..
anyway in the context of today's events in Iraq - and from the 8.30 mark fraser points out that the American presence in Darwin includes powerful air and naval presence - and if they want to use those forces somewhere- they will simply use them and not advise the PM first . Australia will find out by a tweet, or read about the matter after the event... and then finally a cable from America
also in the context of todays events in Iraq - and from about the 12.40 mark, fraser makes the comment that if they (ie usa) want to be vindictive (if Australia chose to become independent) , then we would simply have to wear it ..
new Zealand had the guts to become independent - well why can't Australia
