Why not just make Australia the 51st State, and be done with it?

because socially America is a very backward country. A few young Aussies die so hopefully the Yanks will help us, what do you think? Cheaper than having our own full defense.

# Yes, something in that. But has the "invasion" of Iraq and Afghanistan achieved all that much - in neither case did the locals invite in Western forces.
Trouble is, the Yanks have never conceded they were actually defeated in Vietnam.
If only they had stayed longer, they would have won...etc. Maybe.
But no nation likes foreigners on its territory, which partly explains sudden outbursts of Green-on-Blue attacks.
Even now, the imminent withdrawal of NATO from Afghanistan is not on the basis of claiming full victory, but only that the country is sufficiently Westernised to survive a resurgent Taliban. Time will tell.
As for Australia, the Yanks found our continent a convenient base for the push north against the Japs. Now we are possibly an expendable forward outpost, for containment of China. If war comes to our region, the USA mainland is a long way away, but we will be right in the centre of things. So, good luck!

Iraq was a complete and utter joke. Afghanistan was imo justifiable but was never going to succeed

Once we/nato go the Taliban will move back into power except maybe for the major cities :-(

Agree we are expendable to the Yanks if the shit hits the fan. Maybe we need a nuclear deterrent

Windsor *claimed* that Abbott said he would do "anything *except* sell my arse".
Clearly that part of your brain responsible for processing half of the English language is missing.
No-one is able to corroborate Windsor's claim and Tony Abbott of course denies it. Moreover there are no instances of any similar claims from anyone with integrity.
Moreover, Windsor's credibility is in question - but in his case there are grounds for suspicion. Whilst opposing CSG, Windsor sold his family farm to Werris Creek Coal for three ties the going price in the area:
"Mr Windsor, who has long been critical of mining in the nearby fertile Liverpool Plains because of its impact on underlying ground water, yesterday repeated his claim that the mining of that property was legitimate because it was 'completely different country'.
...
When asked about the differences in the sale prices between his property and those of his neighbours, he said, 'I think we should terminate this conversation'.
'You listen to me pal, you mind your own business, it's my family's business. If you want to make up some bullshit story, go for your life, I don't care', he said before hanging up.

'Would', 'wouldn't', it's all the same to you eh?
And on another occasion, Windsor was quoted as saying 'I would do anything *except* sell my arse'.
Which suggests that Mr Windsor's memory is playing up - or his imagination is working overtime.

Still uncorroborated - in fact, *your* version is literally different which suggests that Mr Windsor is verbalising *his* thoughts differently on each occasion.

Yes, really.
In parliament, he used the word 'except sell'. Earlier he quoted Abbott as saying 'won't sell'. If you were quoting someone literally you would use the exact words, from memory.
