An interesting example of increasing autonomy from the US.

NSW's statement; cup cakes on 'Harmony Day' says it all really

We don't need to think

We just cede our sovereignty

Interoperability in action will mean command & control reverts to the Pentagon

We'll slip in behind whatever fight they want to pick
