Importantly, national security is not just about countering threats; it is also about making the most of
opportunities. In particular, Australia seeks to shape the international environment, both to prevent
the emergence of security threats, and to achieve broader bene¿ts for
Australia (such as trade and
economic bene¿ts).

Australia’s national security activities combine to form
eight pillars that reÀect the evolution of our national
security environment
Countering terrorism, espionage and foreign interference
The Australia–United States Alliance
States have always used espionage as a tool to
pursue national interests. Today, our reliance on
cyberspace has increased our exposure to this threat.
Espionage and foreign interference activities against
Australia place a range of our national interests at
risk, including: classi¿ed government information;
commercial information with direct consequences for
business and the economy; intellectual property; and
the private information of our citizens.
The Australia–United States Alliance (the Alliance)
remains our most important security relationship.
It remains an important anchor for peace and security in
our region.

What about treating other countries with respect instead of imposing their values on societies that are culturally different?
I don't like Ron Paul, but i find that he is right when he say that USA provoked all the terrorist attacks. It's just blowback.

"It was high time, anyway," Flapper fluttered on, "to clarify that limitless information collection is nothing like "spying.' Spying is about unearthing what's called 'intelligence.' Our back-office computer wizards wouldn't know spying intelligence if it crashed through the window. Good riddance as well to having 'national' in our name for we intrude on many more overseas calls than domestic, party line gossip. And since we hide whether our wiretapping has ever stopped one terrorist attack, we are happy not to be weighed down with any "security' obligations. Aside from protecting our financial security, of course, and our essential, if covert $12 billion annual budget. Threaten that security and you'll learn what instant communication is all about: we've got more dirt buried on more critics than old J. Edgar's FBI ever shoveled up on his enemies."

Isn't it bigotry to say that any particular group of people cannot be bigots? Kind of racist too? ^^
