Declassified Australia

The Australian media too often reports the nation as a compliant ally of the U.S., UK and the Western alliance but asks few questions about why and what it really involves.

Declassified Australia challenges this narrative by publishing in-depth, unique and largely hidden stories that reveal the reality of Australia’s relationships with both democracies and dictatorships.

From the arms trade to whistleblowers, defence policy to surveillance, espionage to free speech, Declassified Australia also examines relations with other nations including Israel, China, Russia and more.

Independently founded, Declassified Australia, has been inspired by the fine efforts of online journalism sites including DeclassifiedUK. The vital conversation includes articles by both established and new writers providing original and newsworthy content that uncovers largely unknown aspects of Australia in the 21st Century.

Established in 2021 and edited by investigative journalists Peter Cronau and Antony Loewenstein, Declassified Australia aims to provoke and inform.
