The war machine is about wealth transfer, management, and land grabs for resources. If you follow the money, these are long-fought wars over hundreds or thousands of years. It is not the place of mothers and fathers to send our children to fight a rich man’s war. China isn’t a risk unless we provoke them by letting the US, especially, treat us like its whipping boy. Our cultures, ideologies, and people are different, and we no longer stand with these values. It’s time, Australia!

Currently, under Australian laws, the Prime Minister holds the power to deploy our military forces into international conflicts without prior consultation with the Federal Parliament. This policy undermines democratic principles by allowing decisions of war to be made unilaterally, keeping the public and even some of our leaders in the dark. The people of Australia have a right to know and decide how we act on the global stage.

We must demand transparency and accountability from our government about military deployments. It's time to challenge the status quo and bring the decision-making process out of the shadows and into the hands of the Australian people and their elected representatives.

A change in our laws is necessary, requiring any decision to engage in military action to be addressed and approved at the Federal level with a transparent and open vote. Such critical decisions should not reside solely in the hands of a few but should reflect the will of the majority.

By ensuring such democratic processes, Australians can truly decide our nation’s actions, uninfluenced by external pressures from countries like the United States or European powers. Our sovereignty and values must guide our international engagements, not secretive policies.

Note: we have submitted an application with the e-petition with the Australian Parliament. Once live we will add here, we desperately need votes in this petition to make change within Government.
