In response to Trump’s negotiation position diminishes as Albo sits him out

Higher echelon loyalty to Australia not the US

Congratulations to Jack Waterford for some very plain talk about the relationship with the Trump US.

I quote: ” Indeed, if Australia did blab, there would be any number of Australian officials, regarding themselves as having a loyalty to the alliance over and above their loyalty to Australia, who would leak about it.”

Can we read “US” for “alliance”?

And if so, and if Jack’s assertion is true, don’t words like “undue foreign influence” or even in a few possible cases, “treason” come to mind? Do we need an oath of allegiance?
