This is heart-warming, that the Australian public is able to discriminate on these complex issues which involve emotive sentiments.
Labor (under Curtin) established the American Alliance at Labor's instigation, not the Americans instigation. If Menzies had his way, we'd still be kissing the foreskin of the monarchy.
In the subsequent years, the America Alliance has become more important to the US.
Now Labor redefines the American Alliance on our terms, instead of the grovelling foreskin tugging exhibited by the right.
(as if we are a helpless little white girl in dire risk without the big protective hand of the US)
