Former Aussie Foreign Affairs minister has words on Trump

'The most ill-informed, under-prepared, and psychologically ill-equipped president in US history'

Former foreign affairs minister Gareth Evans is urging Australia to reduce its dependence on the United States alliance and accept China as a legitimate "global rule maker".

Mr Evans, a senior member of the Hawke and Keating Labor governments, is also calling on the government to put "more bucks" into defence spending, potentially including nuclear-powered submarines, to be more self-reliant.

"Less United States does not mean walking away from the alliance, from which we of course profoundly benefit in terms of access to intelligence and high-end armaments," Mr Evans, now Australian National University chancellor, will say in a speech to the National Press Club on Thursday.

"But less reflexive support for everything the US chooses to do is long overdue."
