Someday in the not-too-distant future Australia will likely be play a prominent role in the US empire's agenda to halt the rise of China. When that happens, I will most certainly say that our nation is being used as a *proxy* by the US, which has indeed subverted our *agency*.
As with Ukraine, Australia has been the subject of multiple US coups and is now functionally a US military/intelligence asset, which is why Julian Assange is permitted to waste away behind bars. Canberra is a puppet regime just like Kyiv.
In the very likely event that the aforementioned proxy conflict happens, anyone who shrieks "You're depriving Australians of their AGENCY!" at those who point it out will be wrong, and will be an asshole. Our agency was TAKEN AWAY, by the very empire under scrutiny.
And yes, because of a highly aggressive and sophisticated propaganda campaign there will be many Australians who want to go to war with China. I know. They exist already. I've met them. That psychological programming is itself another way they were robbed of their agency.
