Debatable. The US defended global trade routes for it's own purposes, to enable it to to sell it's goods worlwide.

Debatable. Australia was never in danger of being attacked and invaded by anybody apart from the English.

Ended the Australian colonial mindset
Debatable. Australia's "colonial mindset" was ended by the UN rather than the US. It was never very big anyway, except perhaps in Queensland with it's delusions of grandeur.

Something the US should be proud of, I suppose. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
The US does not even closely depend on world trade routes in the way Australia and the rest of the world do.
When Britain abandoned Australia to its fate in WW2. and Curtin told a panicked Australia that only the south would be defended, it was the Americans who decided that all of Australia would be defended - to the eternal gratitude of Australians then and now.
The colonial mindset was ended by the Eisenhower administration which influenced the UN on the matter.
Australian colonial servility towards Britain waned dramatically during WW2 when Australia turned to the US after Britain abandoned Australia.
Unlike America that 'rejected' British influence (it threw the Holy Grail away).
Britain's direction for Australia is to 'reject' Australia.
Australia holds as tight as it can on the Holy Grail (Britain).
Because like it or not, the USA - 'is not' the answer either.
Especially when it's politics is closer to that of ancient Rome and Athens having rejected the British version.
Who would you 'politically' ally yourself to?
Italy or Britain? Germany stuck to the 'Hail Caesar' and failed.
France too will fail, because it still bases its empowerment on ancient times and to 'Rome' (Italy).
Even Italy will fail with its Roman past foundation - the MAFIA/Vatican will fail.
Leaving only Britain as the Political Euro entity.
...but Britain's failure will be to 'fade into the west' to reclaim America at the cost of its own country.
