Why are there so many US military bases in Australia, and could they drag us unwillingly into war? - podcast
By Presented by Reged Ahmad with Ben Doherty; produced by Cheyne Anderson and Lu Hill; sound design and mixing by Jacob Round; the executive producer is Hannah Parkes

Some analysts are warning it represents a ‘saturation’ or ‘colonisation’ of the Australian continent.
