There are quite a few things odd about this article, chief among them, why is it posted on a law firm website? This isn't news, it's practically an opinion piece.

Regardless, Sydney Criminal Lawyers undertakes journalism to publish news articles, much like civil liberties defender EFF or entertainment/advertising company Nine/Fairfax.

About the author, from the article's page:

Paul Gregoire is a Sydney-based journalist and writer. He's the winner of the 2021 NSW Council for Civil Liberties Award For Excellence In Civil Liberties Journalism. Prior to Sydney Criminal Lawyers®, Paul wrote for VICE and was the news editor at Sydney’s City Hub.

China getting pushy, and Russia in a hot war with the West, things need securing, and just ..... letting it all slide because the spectre of war in bothersome, is simply irresponsible. Here's to the Free world, long may it reign.

War is irresponsible, but a multipolar world is not. This is the US securing Australian alignment with the West, nothing more, nothing less.

What do Australians get out of it? Fuck if I know. Their largest trading partner is China. They're rather isolated from US support in the event of a hot war. They really benefit the most from peace and non-alignment tbh.
