ADoD News Release, Canberra, 01 September 2021: The ANZUS Treaty was signed on September 1, 1951, in the wake of World War II and was designed to protect the security of the Pacific.

Chief of the Defence Force General Angus Campbell said ANZUS remained a powerful demonstration that the treaty signatories do not stand alone and are stronger when working together. “Today I reflect on the long history of mateship between Australia and the United States, and remember those who laid down their lives to protect the security and prosperity of our two nations,” General Campbell said.

The Australian government has been moving towards a surveillance state for some years already. Now they are putting the nail in the coffin with an unprecedented surveillance bill that allows the police to hack your device, collect or delete your data, and take over your social media accounts; without sufficient safeguards to prevent abuse of these new powers.
