Former Aussie PM Paul Keating is giving blunt, behind-the-scenes advice to current PM Anthony Albanese on how to navigate the choppy waters between China and the U.S., urging Australia to ditch automatic alignment with Washington and instead pursue a more independent, engagement-focused foreign policy. Keating argues Australia has no historical beef with China and should push for cooperation on trade and climate — even supporting China’s inclusion in global deals. He warns that hosting U.S. military assets, especially nuclear ones, makes Australia a target and locks it into American strategic moves. Ahead of key meetings with Trump and Chinese leaders, Keating stressed Australia must define its own path — not just follow superpower scripts.
