yep maybe I learn't it from u Poirot especially every time the name Abbott is mentioned. Try looking in the mirror.

Steeleredux ,does anyone have a recording of what Bob Carr said? I see no other reports on Carr's speech on the web and it would be good verify your statements.

I don't trust Bob Carr since it was reported that he is a friend of Henry Kissenger a senior New World Order Zionist, yet Carr is sticking up for the Palestinians.

SR,

What unmitigated poppycock. Bob Carr as a private citizen has no access to the discussions between the PM and the defense dept, and he is well known for bending if not breaking the truth. I bet he has taken one of the many scenarios discussed and conflated it. Considering that the US is Australia's strongest ally, offering a few planes to fly sorties under US command.

The diplomatic achievements under Abbott far eclipse anything under the last labor government.

<<What about the war against Fascism - World War II... the outcome being, off the back of 1000's of Aussie's who gave their lives, you still have freedom speech and live in a democratically elected country.>>
ConservativeHippie, I do not profess to be a world expert on wars and the geopolitical structure of the first half of the twentieth century. I do believe however WWII was a direct extension of the Imperialist war begun in 1914. Australia being drawn into the conflict through its close alignment with the imperial power Britain. Between 1919 and 1939 a period of easing of hostilities, but don't tell the Chinese or the Abyssinians that.
Failing to obtain satisfactory resolution through the Treaty Of Versailles in 1919 a number of nations realigned themselves, most notable Italy and Japan. Although Germany was able to assist in removing Russia from the war through its support of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, Russia was not subjugated by Germany and consequently proved to be a major impairment to German expansionism in the 1940's. The Versaillles Treaty created economic and political instability in Germany, giving rise to German Fascism in 1933, and consequently hostilities resumed in 1939. The United States had briefly been involved in the conflict in 1917, but tried to resume its isolationist stance again in 1919, but was never comfortable with Japanese expansionism in the Pacific and was consequently drawn back into the war in 1941.
With the realignment of Japan, Australia become involved in the Pacific War against Imperialist Japan in 1941. We had automatically resumed the European War in 1939 as part of the British Commonwealth. At no time did Australia enter or reenter the war because of aggression directed towards itself, not by Germany or Japan.
As I said Australia never had any period of "deep deliberation" before entering or reentering a war.
