Australia Is Still A Colony

Описание: Is Australia still a colony?

It might sound like a trivial question, but a quick scratch of the surface suggests there's a lot more to it than mere semantics.

Chris delves into the complexities of Australia's colonial legacy, the impact of foreign ownership on national sovereignty, and a cultural identity heavily defined by external influences.

All of these leave a heavy thumbprint on issues of real consequence for Australians today. Australia's military involvements, the illusion of democracy, weird economic disparities, and the significant role of corporate influence in undermining political accountability.

Where these problems are unique to Australia, there will need to be a uniquely Australian way of solving them. Chris contends, that as long as the keys to the wellbeing of Australians are held by outside parties, Australia risks remaining subject to the misaligned and indifferent whims of its colonial masters.
