Friends and Foes (2021x40)

: 11, 2021

This week on Q+A – Friends and Foes. Finding Australia’s place in an increasingly complicated international landscape. It’s been a bruising few weeks on the world stage as Australia navigates the fallout from AUKUS, the much-heralded defence pact with the United Kingdom and the United States. The PM has described it as a “forever partnership”, but is forever an impossible aim in a world of shifting power balances and competing geopolitical interests? And will this new alliance provoke fresh tensions with China? Panellists: James Paterson, Liberal Senator for Victoria, Ed Husic, Labor Member for Chifley, Chris Uhlmann, Nine News political editor, Lavina Lee, International relations expert, Yun Jiang, Producer of China Neican and editor at ANU.
