Jo, Matt, and Declan talk with the hottest new historian on the block - Cam Coventry, author of the recent paper ‘The “Eloquence” of Robert J. Hawke: United States informer, 1973–79’. Cam explains how diplomatic cables show that Hawke acted as a vital asset in helping preserve US interests in Australia, the role of the US in shaping key policy reforms like the Accord, and what this research tells us about foreign interference in Australian politics today.
