TIME TO THINK LIKE A SOVEREIGN NATION. Australia Should be Modelling Itself Less on Globalist Dependency and More on Strategic Independence
By Jamie Mcintyre
Australia should be modelling itself less on globalist dependency and more on strategic independence.
Think Switzerland.
Neutral where possible.
Pragmatic where necessary.
Always acting in its own national interest.
That means:
• Building strong trade ties across all major blocs
• Securing diversified energy partnerships
• Avoiding foreign wars that do not benefit Australia
• Rejecting pressure from external political influences
It also means having the courage to say “no” — even to traditional allies.
Because true allies respect independence.
Dependence is not alliance. It is submission.
⸻
BRICS IS NOT THE THREAT — IT’S THE OPPORTUNITY
Australia has far more to gain from engaging with BRICS than resisting it.
Stronger ties with Russia could stabilise long-term energy supply.
Deeper engagement with Indonesia strengthens regional security and trade.
Participation in alternative financial systems reduces reliance on a weakening US dollar structure.
This is not ideology.
It is strategy.
⸻
THE CHOICE IS SIMPLE — BUT URGENT
Australia now faces a defining decision:
Remain tied to a declining global order — and go down with it.
Or step into a multipolar world — and thrive as a sovereign, independent nation.
Because the truth is this:
The world is no longer unipolar.
The old alliances are no longer guarantees.
And the future will not wait for Australia to catch up.
⸻
AUSTRALIA FIRST — OR AUSTRALIA LAST
Australians do not want to be governed by distant interests or dragged into conflicts that serve foreign agendas.
They want leadership.
Real leadership.
Leadership that puts Australia first — its people, its economy, its sovereignty.
That requires a complete reset of foreign policy thinking.
Not minor tweaks.
A full strategic shift.
⸻
FINAL WARNING
Nations that fail to adapt to changing global realities don’t just fall behind.
They collapse into irrelevance.
Australia still has a choice.
But not for long.
Join BRICS.
Adopt an independent foreign policy.
Reclaim national sovereignty.
Or remain a passenger…
…on a ship that is already taking on water.

DUMP THE DYING EMPIRE: AUSTRALIA MUST JOIN BRICS NOW OR FACE DECLINE
By Jamie McIntyre, Founder of Australian National Review and Political Commentator
Australia is sleepwalking into irrelevance.
While the world rapidly reshapes itself into a new global order, Australia’s political class remains stuck in a dangerous habit: clinging to dying empires and calling it “alliance.”
We’ve seen this movie before.
Australia blindly relied on the British Empire for protection during World War II. Then came the brutal wake-up call — the fall of Singapore in under 48 hours. That illusion of security evaporated overnight.
Now history is repeating itself.
Only this time, it’s the United States.
Australia continues to tie its future to an ageing empire riddled with debt, internal division, endless wars, and declining global influence. Yet our leaders still act as if Washington’s power is unquestionable and permanent.
It isn’t.
The unipolar world is over.
And the rise of BRICS is proof.
⸻
THE REAL POWER SHIFT IS ALREADY HAPPENING
The BRICS alliance — including nations like Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — is no longer a sideshow.
It is rapidly becoming the dominant global bloc.
New members and aligned nations are expanding its reach, including countries like Iran and Indonesia — both critical to Australia’s regional and energy future.
Together, these nations represent:
• The majority of the world’s population
• A growing share of global GDP
• Massive energy reserves
• Increasing control over global trade routes
Meanwhile, the Western system is creaking under its own weight — drowning in debt, inflation, and geopolitical overreach.
Yet Australia remains locked into it.
Why?
⸻
A FOREIGN POLICY WRITTEN BY OTHERS
Australia does not currently have an independent foreign policy.
It has a borrowed one.
For decades, Canberra has followed Washington into wars, sanctions, and geopolitical conflicts that have delivered little benefit to ordinary Australians — but plenty of economic blowback.
Energy insecurity.
Rising fuel costs.
Supply chain instability.
These are not accidents.
They are consequences.
Australia is an energy-rich nation. It should be one of the most secure and self-reliant countries on Earth. Instead, it behaves like a dependent state — exposed, reactive, and strategically vulnerable.
That is a political failure.
