Why does Australia maintain close links with the US and Britain?

Australia was originally ruled by Britain so that one is easy. Britain and US are on friendly terms, so that probably adds to why we have good terms with Australia. While Australia is now formally independent of Britain, Britain has always been close to Australia because it is the mother country and established the nation in the 1700s. The US as a world superpower is necessary to maintain as a friend because of the position it takes on the world stage in economic and defence terms.

The Irish don't hate Britain. There is a long history between Ireland and Britain, with Britain having invaded Ireland.

Many Irish people live in Britain and many people in Britain are of Irish ancestry. The Irish are the largest immigrant group in Britain.
