Sadly, in my opinion, Australia continues on its memory of colonial days and subservience to the "mother" land (UK) and the "father" land (USA). Geographically, Australia is an Asian land mass being far isolated from Europe and North America. However, as a former Australian Prime , Paul Keating, once said "...Australia's security lies within Asia..." and that is where our diplomatic, trade and cultural interests should be directed. Australia could do well to cut the choking financial ties with UK and USA and seek a co-operative co-existence with our Asian neighbours. Membership of the BRICS organisation would open many new opportunities for both Australia and our Asian neighbours.
