Ngemva kweminyaka eyishumi yemizamo yomphakathi yokwenza osopolitiki bagxile ekuguquleni indlela i-Australia eya ngayo empini, uhulumeni wase-Albanese manje uphendule ngokuthatha isinyathelo sokuqala.
Isimemezelo sangomhla zingama-30 kuSepthemba sophenyo lwasePhalamende sibonisa ukukhathazeka kwamaqembu kulo lonke elase-Australia ukuthi singase singene kwenye ingxabano eyinhlekelele - kulokhu esifundeni sethu. Abayamukelayo bangama-83% abantu base-Australia abafuna iPhalamende livote ngaphambi kokuthi siye empini. Abaningi babona leli thuba lenguquko njengento engase ibeke i-Australia ngaphambi kwentando yeningi efanayo.
Yize amazwe amaningi anemithethosisekelo edinga ukucutshungulwa kwesinqumo sempi ngentando yeningi, i-Australia ayikho phakathi kwayo. Futhi akuzona iCanada noma iNew Zealand. I-UK inezingqungquthela esikhundleni salokho, futhi imizamo yaseBrithani yokushaya umthetho amandla empi yehlulekile. E-US, imizamo yokuguqula uMthetho Wamandla Empi ka-1973 iye yanqotshwa kaningi.
Ilungu leLungu lePhalamende laseNtshonalanga ye-Australia uJosh Wilson ufuna ucwaningo olwenziwe Umtapowolwazi wasePhalamende lubuyekeze amalungu ophenyo ngokuthi amanye amademokhrasi asabela kanjani eziphakamisweni zempi zohulumeni.
Abasekeli abaphambili bophenyo lwase-Australia nguJulian Hill we-ALP, ozokuba ngusihlalo walo, noJosh Wilson. Bagcizelela ukuthi umphumela uzoba yindaba yokuvumelana, ekhombisa ukubunjwa kwekomidi elincane lezokuvikela leKomidi Elihlanganisiwe Elimele Lezindaba Zangaphandle, Ezokuvikela, Nokuhweba.
Kepha iqiniso lokuthi selidluliselwe eKomidini nguNgqongqoshe Wezokuvikela uRichard Marles liyabakhuthaza labo abesaba ukuthi i-Australia ingase ingene kwenye impi eyingozi njengeVietnam, Afghanistan, kanye ne-Iraq.
Akekho uMarles noma uNdunankulu u-Albanese oye wasekela esidlangalaleni izinguquko zamandla empi. Futhi abekho abaningi ozakwabo beqembu, abahlehlisa imibono yabo noma abangaphawuli. Phakathi kosopolitiki bezabasebenzi abeseka izinguquko, abaningi abawona amalungu ekomiti elincane eliqhuba lolu phenyo.
UMichael West Media (MWM) waqala ukuhlola osopolitiki ngonyaka odlule mayelana nempendulo yabo embuzweni othi 'Ingabe u-PM kufanele abe nobizo olulodwa lokuyisa abantu base-Australia empini?'. Cishe wonke amaGreens aphendule ngokuthi 'Cha', futhi wonke amaNational 'Yebo'. Abanye abaningi, i-ALP kanye neLiberals ngokufanayo, abazange baphawule, noma benanela abakhulumeli babo bezokuvikela noma ongqongqoshe. Abanye baphinde bathanda izinguquko, kodwa ngezimo ezithile, ikakhulukazi eziphathelene nokuthi i-Australia izokwenzani esimweni esiphuthumayo.
Kodwa kusukela okhethweni, abantu abaningi abaphendula ocwaningweni lwe-MWM abasekho ePhalamende, futhi manje sesineqoqo elisha labazimele, iningi labo elakhankasa ezinkundleni zokuziphendulela kanye nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu, kunokukhuluma ngezindaba zangaphandle kanye nokuvikela.
I-Australians for War Powers Reform (AWPR) ikhomba ukuxhumana phakathi kwalezi zindaba ezimbili ezibalulekile kanye nokusebenza kwezempi, okungcolisa kakhulu futhi okungaphenduleki. Abazimele u-Andrew Wilkie, u-Zali Steggall, kanye no-Zoe Daniel bayasiqonda isidingo sokubeka ukwakhiwa kwempi enqubweni efanayo yentando yeningi.
UDaniel, owayeyintatheli yakwa-ABC, uphakathi kwamalungu angu-23 ekomiti elincane lezokuVikela elizoqhuba lolu phenyo. Zihlanganisa ibhalansi yezinhlangano ezihlangene nemibono. USihlalo we-ALP u-Julian Hill unePhini lakhe, u-Andrew Wallace ovela ku-LNP. Amalungu aphikisana kakhulu nokuguqulwa kwamandla empi, ngamunye ngezizathu zawo, ahlanganisa amaSenatha eLiberal uJim Molan noDavid Van. Abanye baphendule izinhlolovo ze-MWM kanye nemibuzo ye-AWPR ngaphandle kokuphawula. Abanye abakaze baphendule izicelo zenhlolokhono.
Izimpendulo ezimbili ezihlukene ziyagqama. Ilungu lePhalamende lezabaSebenzi u-Alicia Payne ukubeke kwacaca ukuthi ufuna kuphenywe ePhalamende futhi uyaweseka umkhankaso kahulumeni. 'Ngiyabona ukuthi kwezinye izimo uhulumeni ophethe kungase kudingeke ukuthi enze izinqumo ezinjalo ngokushesha, nokho, izinqumo eziphuthumayo ezinjalo kusafanele zihlolwe yiPhalamende'. UNksz Payne akalona ilungu lekomiti elincane.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uSenator u-Ralph Babet, we-United Australia Party, utshele i-MWM ukuthi 'Kufanele kwenziwe umehluko ocacile phakathi kwamandla ezimpi kanye nezindaba zokuzivikela...Umbono wamaqembu amaningi wethemba ukhona ngokuthula komhlaba wonke kanye nokuzinza, ngaphakathi kwamahholo ePhalamende'. USenator uBabet uyilungu lekomidi elincane, elingase lizwe kuye ukuthi kusho ukuthini lokhu.
Akuwona wonke amalungu ekomiti elincane enze imibono yawo mayelana nokuguqulwa kwamandla empi okwaziwa yi-MWM noma i-AWPR. Ukuhlola okunzima kubonisa ukuthi iningi alizange liphendule noma alizange libe namazwana. Ukuqulwa kwecala kuthembisa ukujabulisa. Kepha imiphumela ibaluleke kakhulu, inomthelela njengoba izoba sesimweni se-Australia ngoMashi 2023.
Yilapho inqubo yokubonisana yezinyanga eziyi-18 iphela ku-AUKUS, imibiko yoBuyekezo Lwesu Lokuvikela, kanye ne-20.th isikhumbuzo seminyaka yokuhlasela kwe-Australia kwe-Iran kwenzeka. Ukuguqulwa kwamandla empi akukaze kudingeke ngokuphuthuma kangaka.
