Australia has a fear of abandonment, which is the reason we march in lockstep with America into wars, and have made ourselves a target in America’s conflicts.
It’s time we abandon fear and stand independently, urges former Ambassador John Lander in his latest interview with the Australian Citizens Party’s Citizens Insight program on YouTube.

In his discussion with Australian Citizens Party Research Director Robert Barwick, John Lander gives his insights on five urgent issues:
- The Albanese government’s mis- and disinformation law is blatant wartime censorship, coordinated internationally with the Five Eyes countries, to suppress information that exposes the lies used to justify supporting the USA’s escalation of wars on multiple fronts.
- Russia’s change of its nuclear doctrine increases the danger to Australia, due to Australia hosting US facilities directly involved in guiding attacks on Russia.
- Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, including the state-terrorism of pager attacks, and Australia’s response, has inflamed political divisions in Australia, and is being twisted by US agents in Australia into hysteria against China as a supplier of Australia’s tech imports.
- The provocative motion passed by the Australian Senate in September on Taiwan’s status at the United Nations, about which John Lander explains Taiwan’s true legal status, and how Australia’s One China policy goes back to before WWII.
- The danger Australia has exposed itself to by increasingly making our military first interoperable, and now interchangeable, with the US military, which sets Australia up to be a US proxy in any war with China, including one over Taiwan.
John Lander was Deputy Ambassador to China in 1974-76, Ambassador to Iran in 1985-88, and three times head of the China Desk at the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT), meaning most of his career was spent developing Australia’s relationship with the country that is now our biggest trading partner. Like other government figures of his generation who are outspoken against the way Australia is abandoning its sovereignty to align with US moves to position itself for a war against China, including Paul Keating, Gareth Evans, and the late Malcolm Fraser, John Lander hails from a time when the Australian government had a much clearer, independent idea of Australia’s national interest.
For the sake of peace, all Australians, especially in the current government, must heed what he has to say.
