Green vs Labor on u.s. military bases

Haruskah Australia mengijinkan AS untuk mengoperasikan pangkalan militer yang berlokasi di Australia. ^{statistik membahas}

Green’s answer: Tidak, ini tidak bermanfaat bagi Australia Add to that a host of other aircraft visiting for exercises and we are becoming a significant part of the US military machine. The NT Greens are opposed to being structurally bound to US foreign policy like this. We want a peaceful independent future for the NT and Australia.Source

Labor’s answer: iya nih "Up to 2,500 US Marines will be stationed in Australia by 2017 under a new agreement announced by Prime Minister Julia Gillard and US president Barack Obama. Ms Gillard confirmed the deployment during a joint press conference with Mr Obama only hours after he touched down in Canberra on his whirlwind visit. She says 200 to 250 Marines will be stationed in Darwin for training from next year, with numbers building up to 2,500 over the next five years. "It is a new agreement to expand the existing collaboration between the Australian Defence Force and the US Marine Corps and the US Air Force," she said"Source
