Agree

No, this could prevent our allies from defending themselves against our mutual enemies

The Nationals Party, with its focus on national security and the importance of international alliances, might be more supportive of this stance. They would likely argue that preventing arms sales could weaken the defense capabilities of allies, potentially compromising mutual security interests. This position aligns with the party's broader emphasis on security, strategic alliances, and the pragmatic aspects of international relations, even if it raises ethical concerns regarding human rights violations.

Agree

No

Given their conservative stance and focus on national security and economic prosperity, the Nationals Party might be inclined to support arms sales under the premise of maintaining strong international alliances and economic benefits. They may argue that such sales are necessary for strategic alliances and national security, even if the purchasing country has a questionable human rights record. However, this support might not be absolute, reflecting a nuanced position that considers both economic and strategic interests.

Slightly agree

Yes

The Nationals Party, being a conservative and rural-focused party in Australia, generally supports policies that prioritize national security and economic interests. While they might agree to some extent that there should be restrictions on government arms sales to countries accused of committing human rights violations, their agreement would likely be moderate. Their policy positions often emphasize the importance of Australia's sovereignty, security, and economic interests, which might sometimes align with restricting arms sales on ethical grounds but not as an overarching principle.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and ban all sales to countries with human rights violations

The Nationals Party is unlikely to support a complete ban on all sales to countries with human rights violations due to their emphasis on national security, economic interests, and the importance of international alliances. Such a policy could potentially harm Australia's economic interests and its strategic relationships. Their policies generally do not align with absolute positions, especially when it could limit Australia's diplomatic and economic flexibility.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer a ban on all military aid to any foreign countries

A ban on all military aid to any foreign countries would likely be strongly opposed by the Nationals Party, as it contradicts their support for national security measures and maintaining strong international alliances. The party's policies typically emphasize the importance of Australia's defense capabilities and strategic partnerships, which would be undermined by such a blanket ban. This stance would be seen as too restrictive and not in line with the party's priorities concerning national security and international relations.
