Former defence force chief Angus Houston insists Australia won’t have a problem calling the US out if things go off the rails in the unpredictable Trump era.
Sir Angus made the case for retaining the US-Australia security alliance despite the uncertainty posed by President Donald Trump, during an address to the National Press Club in Canberra on Tuesday.
He characterised the alliance as an insurance policy without substitute, however it didn’t mean Australia had to “slavishly follow everything the United States does”.
“We are not people who just go along and say, ‘Yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir’,” he said.
“When things are not going the way they should, we call it out.”
