Churchill was prepared to leave Australia to fall to the Japanese so long as he had our troops to help defend England in an invasion that never came. A lying, betraying @$$hole!
BTW, this was after the Japanese had launched an air attack already on Darwin (in our north). Americans still seem to believe that the 1 hour and 15 minutes single wave attack on Pearl Harbour was terrible, and it was but the attack on Darwin went on for 6 weeks and they came back 69 times. This country was under extreme threat and that #$%^& betrayed us like that. We remember Churchill with revulsion and the relation between Australia and the UK has never been the same since.
When we say "We will remember them", it cuts both ways.
