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.

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.
@9WRFSMN4wks4W
No, instead inject the money that we spend in our own and surrounding country environment, health and human rights, animal rights etc.
@9DK5R2X1yr1Y
Yes and ask for reforms, such as electing a new security council.
@9D7QJS71yr1Y
The U.N is corrput, Australia shouldn't hold a presence in something that's burning their economy.
@8X6TXTK3yrs3Y
yes but actually do something for our future instead of screwing around with commitments in 2050 and dial it to 2030
@9D3DWZ51yr1Y
Yes, and push for Taiwan to be recognised
