I-Australia iya njani emfazweni

NguAlison Broinowski, I-Ostreliya ayichazwanga, Matshi 19, 2022

Kulula kakhulu koorhulumente baseOstreliya ukuthumela uMkhosi woKhuselo emfazweni kunokuba kunjalo kuthi ukuthintela oko ukuba kwenzeke. Bangayenza kwakhona, kungekudala.

Iyafana ngalo lonke ixesha. Oorhulumente bethu bachonga 'isisongelo' ngoncedo oluvela kuma-Anglo-allies, abathi babize isizwe esithile esilutshaba, baze ke bafake iidemon inkokeli yalo ephambeneyo, elawula ngoozwilakhe. Amajelo osasazo aphambili ayangena, ngakumbi axhasa abo bacinezelwe nguzwilakhe. Isiganeko siyacatshukiswa, isimemo siyilwe. INkulumbuso icinga ukuba ngumsebenzi wayo wokuphoxeka, kodwa ivuma imfazwe kunjalo, kwaye siyahamba. Abantu abaqhankqalazayo abahoywa, ngokunjalo nomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe.

Uninzi lwabantu baseOstreliya ngoku bayayibona ipateni, kwaye abayithandi. Uvoto lukaRoy Morgan ngo-2020 fu maneka Ama-83 ekhulwini abantu baseOstreliya babefuna utshintsho kwindlela iOstreliya eya ngayo emfazweni. Ngo-2021 intatheli uMike Smith fu maneka Iipesenti ezingama-87 zabantu abavotelwe baxhasa iGreens ' ityala lohlaziyo.

Alikho ixesha elingcono kunangoku lokusebenzisa uthintelo lwedemokhrasi kwiinkokeli ezinemfazwe, unokucinga. Ewe, hayi. abezopolitiko Federal abasabelayo imibuzo kulo nyaka nasekupheleni malunga nemeko yotshintsho yahlulwe ngokulinganayo.

Ngokuqikelelwayo, phantse onke amalungu oMdibaniso ayakuchasa ukuguqulwa kwamagunya emfazwe, kodwa kunjalo neenkokeli ezininzi zaBasebenzi, ngelixa abanye bethandabuza. I iinkokeli zangaphambili kunye nezikhoyo ngoku, UBill Shorten kunye no-Anthony Albanese, babuzwa, kodwa abazange baphendule, nangona i-ALP ivote kabini ukuba ibambe uphando malunga nendlela i-Australia eya ngayo imfazwe kwixesha layo lokuqala kurhulumente.

Le ngxaki asiyiyo yaseOstreliya yodwa. Ukusukela ngeminyaka yee-1980s, abezopolitiko baseMelika nabaseBrithani bebezama ukuguqula amagunya emfazwe aqhubela phambili iRoyal Prerogative yeenkulungwane ezidlulileyo, enika ukuqonda okupheleleyo ngoxolo kunye nemfazwe kumongameli okanye inkulumbuso.

ICanada kunye neNew Zealand, kunye neMigaqo-siseko efana neOstreliya, baye bawubaleka lo mbandela ngokuphuma kwiimfazwe zamva nje (nangona bezibandakanyeke kungquzulwano lwase-Afghan lwe-9/11). Inkulumbuso yaseNew Zealand u-Ardern walile ukuxoxa ngohlaziyo lwamandla emfazwe nombutho wam, Abantu base-Australia boHlaziyo lwaMandla oMkhosi. IBritane, kungekho Mgaqo-siseko ubhaliweyo, iye yaba njalo ukuzama amashumi eminyaka ukuwisa umthetho ingqungquthela elindele ukuba inkulumbuso ithathe isindululo semfazwe kwiMimandla, ngaphandle kwempumelelo.

OoMongameli base-US abathatha isigqibo sokulwa imfazwe kufuneka bacele iCongress ukuba igunyazise iimali. ICongress iqhele ukwenza njalo unyaka nonyaka, ibeka iimeko ezimbalwa. Enye 'engxamisekileyo' izigunyaziso zomkhosi womkhosi (AUMF) bangaphezulu kweminyaka engama-20 ubudala.

Kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini ukususela ngo-2001, i-AUMF ekhuselwe nguGeorge W. Bush e-Afghanistan isetyenziselwe ukuthethelela imisebenzi yokulwa nobunqolobi, ukuhlasela, ukulwa komhlaba, ukuhlaselwa komoya kunye ne-drone, ukuvalelwa ngaphandle kwenkundla, imikhosi ye-proxy, kunye neekontraki kumazwe angama-22. , ngokutsho kwe Iindleko zeProjekthi yeMfazwe. Iinzame eziphindaphindiweyo zohlaziyo lweDemocrat kunye neRiphabhlikhi congresspeople-kutsha nje kulo nyaka-ayikwazi ukuqokelela inkxaso eyaneleyo ukuba idlule.

Oorhulumente baseOstreliya banoxanduva lokukhusela ilizwekazi lethu, kodwa yintlekele ukuzeyisa kuthi ukuba sizibandakanye neemfazwe zohambo kwaye sixhokonxe izizwe ezinamandla. Uninzi lwabaphenduli base-Australia kuphando lwakutsha nje 'lweeNdleko zeMfazwe' oluqhutywa yi Uthungelwano oluzimeleyo kunye noXolo lwaseOstreliya (IPAN) iyavumelana nowayesakuba yiNkulumbuso yaseOstreliya uMalcolm Fraser ukuba izoyikiso ezinkulu eOstreliya ziziseko zase-US kunye ne Umanyano lwe-ANZUS ngokwayo.

Izingeniso kwi-IPAN ziphantse zavumelana: abantu abaninzi base-Australia bafuna uhlaziyo lwedemokhrasi yamagunya emfazwe, uphononongo lwe-ANZUS, ukungathathi cala okuxhobileyo okanye okungaxhobanga, kunye buya kwidiplomacy kunye nokuzimela eOstreliya.

Yintoni ke ebambe iAustralia kuhlaziyo lwamagunya emfazwe? Ngaba kufuneka kube nzima kangaka?

Abaninzi bethu, ngokuqinisekileyo, abacingi malunga nendlela esiya ngayo emfazweni de kube sekuhlwile. Iinkxalabo ezikhuphisanayo - urhwaphilizo kurhulumente, ukufudumeza kwemozulu, iindleko zokuhlala, kunye nokunye - kuthatha indawo yokuqala.

Abanye baqinisekile ukuba i-ANZUS ibophelela i-US ukuba ikhusele i-Australia, ayifuni. Abanye - kubandakanywa uninzi lwezopolitiko - banexhala malunga nokuba siza kusabela njani kwingxakeko yasemkhosini. Ngokucacileyo, oku kuya kuba kukuzikhusela ngokusemthethweni kuhlaselo, nto leyo enokuthi ibonelelwe ngumthetho wamagunya emfazwe, njengoko kusenziwa kumazwe amaninzi.

Enye inkxalabo kukuba abezopolitiko 'bazakuvota umgca weqela', okanye mhlawumbi 'swill engameleyo' kwi-Senate okanye abazimeleyo kwiibhentshi ezinqamlezileyo baya kuba nendlela yabo. Kodwa bonke bangabameli bethu abanyuliweyo, kwaye ukuba isindululo sikarhulumente semfazwe sisondele kakhulu ukuba siphumelele, ke ityala ledemokhrasi elichasene nalo linamandla kakhulu.

Akukho namnye okhe wazama ukulungisa uMgaqo-siseko, onika amagunya emfazwe kwiRhuluneli-Jikelele. Kodwa iminyaka engama-37, abantu baseOstreliya bebecebisa utshintsho kuMthetho woKhuselo. I-Democrats yase-Australia yazama kwi-1985 kunye ne-2003, kwaye i-Greens yathatha isizathu kwi-2008, i-2016, kwaye kutshanje i-2021. Abantu base-Australia boHlaziyo lwaMandla oMkhosi, umbutho ongakhethi cala owasekwa ngo-2012, usandula ukuxhasa iinzame ngokungenisa imibuzo yePalamente, udala i Amagqala eSibheno, kunye nomdla ovuselelayo phakathi kwabazimeleyo abasandula ukunyulwa abangama-23.

Abezopolitiko bayathanda ukuzukisa iimfazwe zethu. Kodwa akukho mfazwe enye ngaphambi kowe-1941 okanye ukususela ngoko eye yaliwa ukukhusela iOstreliya. Akukho nanye yeemfazwe zethu ukusukela ngo-1945 - iKorea, iVietnam, i-Afghanistan, i-Iraq, iSyria - ibangele uloyiso kuthi okanye kumahlakani ethu. Ngamnye usonakalisile njengelizwe.

Akukho rhulumente waseOstreliya ukusukela oko kaGough Whitlam ngeminyaka yoo-1970 okhe wayicela umngeni ngokunzulu i-Alliance. Yonke iNkulumbuso ukususela kwi-1975 ifunde ukubumba imigaqo-nkqubo yayo yangaphandle kunye neyokhuselo ukuze ihlangabezane neemfuno ezikhulayo ze-US hegemony. Umkhosi wethu ngoku usebenzisana kakhulu ne-US kangangokuba kuya kuba nzima ukukhupha i-Australia kwimfazwe elandelayo, ngaphandle kwesigqibo sePalamente kwangaphambili.

Ukusukela ekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1990, iAustralia yenze iintshaba ezininzi, nabahlobo abambalwa. Isidima sethu njengommi olungileyo wamazwe ngamazwe silahliwe, kunye nebango lethu eliphindaphindiweyo 'lokwenza oko sikuthethayo' kwiintlanganiso zamazwe ngamazwe. Ngelo xesha, siye sayithoba inkonzo yethu yamazwe angaphandle saza sayinciphisa impembelelo yethu kwezozakuzo. I'intsilelo yezozakuzo' echaswa yi-Lowy Institute ngo-2008 imbi kakhulu ngoku. Ukuphulukana nokuma kwezozakuzo kuya kuthatha iminyaka ukuchacha, nokuba oorhulumente bebenenjongo yokubeka phambili uxolo ngaphambi kwamalungiselelo emfazwe.

I-Afghanistan, i-Iraq, iSiriya: irekhodi lase-Australia lithetha ngokwayo. Kubi ngokwaneleyo ukubala ukulahleka kwegazi kunye nobutyebi, ukungahoywa kwezibophelelo zase-Australia zokuchasa isongelo okanye ukusetyenziswa kwamandla, phantsi kwe-Charter ye-UN kunye neSivumelwano se-ANZUS. Ngoku, ilifa lentiyo kumazwe ebesilwe kuwo kule nkulungwane liphawula apho besikhona.

Njengoko imfazwe yaseUkraine isibonisa, ungquzulwano lunokuqaliswa ngokulula. Njengoko ingozi a imfazwe yaxhokonxa neTshayina liyaphakama, eli lixesha lokuguqula amagunya emfazwe, kunye nokwenza okungakumbi.

Kuphela ngotshintsho olungxamisekileyo kwiipolisi zethu zangaphandle kunye nezokhuselo apho i-Australia inethemba lokulungisa ukuma kwesizwe emhlabeni.
