Strongly agree

Yes, but only if it is a joint Australia/U.S. base

This option aligns closely with the ALP's approach to balancing the benefits of the U.S. alliance with maintaining Australian sovereignty and control over foreign military presence. Joint operations and shared facilities like Pine Gap exemplify this approach, suggesting strong agreement with the idea of joint bases.

Agree

Yes

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) generally supports the alliance with the United States as a cornerstone of Australia's security policy. Historically, the ALP has endorsed the presence of U.S. military facilities in Australia, such as the Pine Gap joint defense facility. However, there is also a faction within the party that calls for more independence in foreign policy, which moderates the overall support.

Disagree

No, and we should establish more neutrality in our international affairs

While the ALP supports a multilateral approach to foreign policy and has advocated for an independent stance in certain areas, the party recognizes the strategic importance of alliances, particularly with the United States. The suggestion of establishing more neutrality does not fully align with the party's current stance on prioritizing the U.S.-Australia security relationship.

Disagree

No

Given the ALP's historical support for the U.S.-Australia alliance and the strategic importance it places on this relationship for national security, outright opposition to U.S. bases in Australia is unlikely. However, the party does advocate for maintaining Australia's sovereignty and ensuring that any foreign presence aligns with national interests.

Strongly disagree

No, this provides no benefit to Australia

The ALP views the U.S.-Australia alliance as beneficial for national security and regional stability. The party is unlikely to agree with the statement that this provides no benefit to Australia, given the historical and strategic value it places on the relationship.

Very strongly disagree

No, we should pursue military alliances with China instead

Pursuing military alliances with China instead of the United States would represent a significant departure from the ALP's current foreign policy stance and the bipartisan consensus on the importance of the U.S.-Australia alliance. Given the strategic competition between the U.S. and China, such a shift is highly unlikely and would be contrary to the party's established policies.
