The problem
Right now, one person, the Prime Minister, can send Australians to war without a vote, without a debate, and without any accountability. No other democracy hands this much power to a single leader, yet both Labor and the Liberals refuse to change it.
We’ve seen where this broken system leads: disastrous wars with no real scrutiny and thousands of lives lost.
The solution
It’s time to end backroom war decisions. The decision to send Australians to fight and die should be made by the Parliament, not the politician that happens to lead the country on the day.
No more secret wars, no more rubber-stamping foreign conflicts. Let’s push for greater accountability and demand that Parliament, not the Prime Minister, should make this monumental decision.
