I guess I know what you mean, though I wouldn’t quite put it like that.
Australia is a giant island with a tiny navy, so you almost completely rely on the US for deterrence and protection of your sovereign water. That gives the US a lot of leverage on arms-deals. It’s also pretty much the reason Australia has joined every single US incursion into the middle east with boots on the ground.
It’s more like the US has you by the balls instead of your head being up their ass.
