I've been seriously considering initiating a referendum and am interested on how you would vote. The question being;
Should Australia allow foreign nations to have military bases on our soil?
Think it's time to have a serious look at ANZAS. My major worry is if Iran is attacked we would be dragged in and be fighting for Saudi/ Israeli interests. We have supplied military advisors to the Saudi war room re Yemen already have ships in the Sth China sea.
We need to get our sovereignty back
PS notice the question is inclusive, no nations named but will apply to all. IMO 20000 foreign troops in Darwin is not on (this is the proposed numbers planned)

We were there in Vietnam before USA was and we told them that you can't attack people and expect them to become a mini USA. Australia isn't attacked on a national scale because we're both allied with so many countries and focus on intent rather than ability. North Korea's necular weapons isn't scary because it's necular weapons it is who holds them, many countries have weapons like that. We have peacekeepers all over the world and you'll be able to find an Australian tourist just about everywhere. We are angry if we've been taught something bullshit, an example is finding out that aboriginals were agricultural people goes against assumptions we were taught as children. But otherwise a very friendly people. A friendly giant. We trade with whomever will trade with. We were going to have both a North and south Korean embassy (and we'd be the first) but North Korea was closely involved in bringing drugs ashore which is against our early constitution. USA and UK armies are part of ours.
The U.S. has been doing a very similar thing to what the U.S.S.R. did after WWII, it has been setting a kind of block of countries, which in my opinion they very loosely refer to as being 'Allies', that will take the brunt of any out-break of large scale hostilities against America thus meaning that 'allied' countries like Australia WILL be the first to be hit.
Pine Gap will be the main target since it is way more than a simple Listening Post/Intelligence gathering point for the U.S.
I voted No, and I stand by it, Australia has grown up a hell of a lot since WWII/Korea and Vietnam and we need to grow far away from the influence/s of Americanism as possible.

an absolute & unrestrained NO. australia as a nation has to grow up at last, & stand up for its own interests. it's outrageous enough that every foreign business corporation can actually buy into owning this land, inviting the troops of a war-crazed nation to draw attention to & thereby endanger this country is just that little bit over the top. so, fuck, no, No & NO!
