Australia is a colony of convicts which ‘grew’ into a nation of wardens.

Authoritarian states will always side with their peers over their citizens.

These are flimsy slogans: The prison colony of Australia always had wardens in charge. And if one considers Australia to be "authoritarian", then what states aren't authoritarian? Wouldn't we at least be siding with Russia, Iran, and North Korea? Australia sides with the Zionist Regime because of our imperialism; because our rich can get richer by war profiteering.
