- nl 6y agoThis sounds like it's trying to imply something very sinister, but pretty unclear what it is. It's true that many Australian companies have significant US ownership, and that ownership has benefited hugely from Australia/China trade. The Kerr dismissal has had numerous conspiracy theories surrounding it since 1975 when it happened. If your point is "The US has a lot of influence in Australia" then I think it is better made by going to Canberra and looking straight out of Parliament House at the tallest statute in Canberra of the American Eagle staring down from the center of Australia's defence district.[1] [1] https://placesofpride.awm.gov.au/memorials/190381 https://placesofpride.awm.gov.au/memorials/190381
