Twenty-five years ago, as I said, Liberal Premier Richard Court warned of the dangers of unelected bureaucracies in his book, Rebuilding the Federation. He said: 'These international agreements are made primarily by people outside Australia. The terms and conditions are set by officials from other countries. While Australia takes part in the negotiations, it does not exercise a dominant influence. The foreign countries do.' For the past 25 years, why have Liberal governments ignored this advice? It's time to put Australia first.
