Should Australia maintain a presence at the United Nations?
The UN. is an organization of governments founded in 1945 after World War II. The organization's objectives include promoting peace and security, protecting human rights and the environment and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict. Recent U.N. interventions include the Sri Lankan civil war in 2009 and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Australia joined the U.N. in 1945 as a founding member nation. Australia is the twelfth largest financial contributor to the UN and contributes $30 million annually.

Yes, but demand greater proactiveness from the organization at large to fulfill its mission properly.
@B3VMKY63wks3W
Yes, but scale back involvement significantly as they do not work in Australia's best interests neither economically or militarily.
@B33ZG2T2mos2MO
Yes, however, the United Nations is a useless organization and does not uphold any international laws.
@B32RT3F2mos2MO
Yes, but demand greater proactiveness from other UN members to do what the organization was made for.
@B2WGS2X2mos2MO
Yes, but we must be more outspoken about humanitarian crises occuring, and be more committed to fixing our domestic humanitarian issues
@9ZNMKQB5mos5MO
Yes, we should remain involved in the U.N and with a relatively strong stance, yet not without first taking care of our interests and needs that do not unnecessarily rob us of resources.
@9ZJWQMB5mos5MO
What a stupid question. With the inevitability of world war three approaching you want Australia to seperate where it no longer has the support of other nations in the aspect of military defence? You want Australia to solely defend themselves against someone like Russia? Whoever made these questions should no longer have a job.
@9WRFSMN5mos5MO
No, instead inject the money that we spend in our own and surrounding country environment, health and human rights, animal rights etc.
