Locking Australia into more wars

Without any public discussion Defence Minister Robert Hill is 
expected to sign two new military agreements this week that will 
lock Australia into the US Star Wars program, increase even 
further the integration of US and Australian military forces and 
establish a new joint US-Australian military base in Darwin or in 
Queensland.

The agreements involve a massive financial commitment by 
Australia and its participation in the US's aggressive program 
for global domination.

The new base will not only be used for training purposes but to 
"pre-position" weapons and troops for rapid deployment and use in 
the region.

The establishment of this strategic base is a clear indication 
that US and Australian Governments are preparing for aggression 
against Asian countries. No country threatens the security of 
Australia but the Howard and Bush Governments threaten other 
countries.

Once again the Howard Government is blindly serving the interests 
of the ultra-conservatives of the Bush Government and locking 
future Australian governments into a course that will inevitably 
lead to involvement in more wars.
