Our greatest ally? Zoe Daniel MP & Emma Shortis assess the US-Australia Alliance

Description

This year, the US faces what will likely be its most important presidential election in generations. The current polling gap between the two candidates in within the margin of error. As what the current President has described as the "battle for the soul of America" heats up, what are the implications of this year for the rest of the world, and for our region in particular? The US has claimed that it has “no greater ally than Australia”. What will that mean on the morning of the 6th November? What are the risks, and the rewards, of waltzing in step with the world’s greatest superpower, no matter who is in charge?

Join Zoe Daniel, Independent Member for Goldstein, and Dr Emma Shortis, Senior Researcher in the Australia Institute's International & Security Affairs Program, in conversation for this Australia Institute webinar.
