In this context, where the Australia is literally a imperial colony of the largest empire in the history of the world
It’s a mixed situation after Federation. Historically, Australia (the state) was founded as a British colony, and we legally are still part of the Commonwealth under their king, and also the US has significant influence over Australia, but we’ve seen Australia has demonstrated its own capacity for conducting imperialism in the region.
This doesn’t negate your point at all, it’s just something which is often forgotten.
