Uncovers the truth behind the Howard Government's international trade treaties with the US and how crucial parts of Australia's domestic economy, international markets, defence and health security, research, energy policy and culture are being handed over to the US.
It's the biggest political story of the past decade: the relentless trampling of Australia's national interest in one sector after another, by our own government. Pulled together for the first time in this book, this story is little known and scarcely believable.
Seeing Australia's future as inextricably tied to its great and powerful friend, the Howard government has given away the farm, and much, much more to America Inc. With disturbing enthusiasm it has knowingly undercut Australia's security, economic prosperity, and cultural values, in pursuit of favours from America.
'National Insecurity' probes the astonishing details of the betrayal of Australia by its own Prime Minister, the ceding of sovereignty in one critical areas, from defence to the nation's blood supply, from energy security to industry and culture, and the abdication of the national interest whenever it is perceived to be out of step with US goals. The authors offer a compelling explanation of the motivation for this systematic attack on Australia's future.
Deeply disturbing for anyone who cares about Australia's future.
