Ngokwabase-Australia ngokushintshwa kweMpi Yamandla, Novemba 17, 2021

Ngomhla ziyi-15 Septhemba 2021, ngaphandle kokubonisana nomphakathi, i-Australia yangena ohlelweni lwezokuphepha olunezinhlangothi ezintathu neBrithani ne-United States, olwaziwa ngokuthi i-AUKUS Partnership. Lokhu kulindeleke ukuthi kube yiSivumelwano ngo-2022.

Ngesaziso esifushane, i-Australia yakhansela inkontileka yayo ne-France yokuthenga nokwakha imikhumbi-ngwenya engu-12 ngomhla ka-16 Septhemba 2021 futhi esikhundleni sayo yashintsha ngohlelo lokuthenga imikhumbi-ngwenya yenuzi eyisishiyagalombili eBrithani noma e-United States noma kokubili. Eyokuqala yalezi mikhumbi-ngwenya cishe ngeke itholakale kuze kube ngu-2040 ekuqaleni, nokungaqiniseki okukhulu maqondana nezindleko, uhlelo lokulethwa kanye nekhono le-Australia lokusekela ikhono elinjalo.

I-Australians for War Powers Reform ibona isimemezelo sasesidlangalaleni se-AUKUS njengesivikelo sentuthu kwezinye izinto ezenziwa phakathi kwe-Australia ne-United States, imininingwane yayo engacacile kodwa enomthelela omkhulu ekuvikelekeni kwe-Australia kanye Nokuzimela.

I-Australia ithe i-United States icele ukwanda kokusetshenziswa kwezikhungo zokuvikela zase-Australia. I-US ingathanda ukusekela izindiza eziningi eziqhumisa amabhomu futhi ziphelezele enyakatho ye-Australia, mhlawumbe e-Tindal. I-US ifuna ukukhulisa isibalo samasosha asolwandle asetshenziswe eDarwin, okuzobona izinombolo zikhuphukela cishe ku-6,000. I-US ifuna ukuthuthwa okukhulu kwemikhumbi yayo eDarwin naseFremantle, okuhlanganisa nemikhumbi-ngwenya enamandla enuzi kanye nezikhali.

I-Pine Gap isemkhankasweni wokukhulisa ngokuphawulekayo amakhono ayo okulalela nokuqondisa impi.

Ukwamukela lezi zicelo noma izimfuno kubukela phansi kakhulu ubukhosi base-Australia.

I-US kungenzeka ifune ukubhekwa, okufana nokulawula, indawo yomoya esenyakatho nemizila yemikhumbi.

Uma i-US isebenzisa amaqhinga eMpi Yomshoshaphansi ngokumelene neChina, ngoba yilokho okushiwo yilokhu kwakhiwa kwezempi, kungenzeka ukuthi yenze uhambo lwendiza olunolaka kuze kufike emaphethelweni e-airspace yaseShayina ngamabhomu enuzi ahlomile, njengoba nje enza ngokumelene ne- I-USSR. I-US izogada imizila yemikhumbi ngokuvama okukhulu nokuqina, yazi ukuthi inezisekelo zasekhaya ezivikelekile eziqhele ngebanga nje elifushane, ezivikelwe imicibisholo ecitshwayo esuka phezulu kuya phezulu kanye nesuka phezulu iye emoyeni ezofakwa maduze.

Noma iyiphi yalezi zindiza noma ama-patrols asolwandle angase avuse impendulo efana nempi eqondiswe ezikhungweni zezokuvikela zase-Australia nase-US kanye nezinye izimpahla zenani elibalulekile, njengowoyela, amanzi ahlanzekile nengqalasizinda, noma ukuhlasela kwe-inthanethi kwezokuxhumana nengqalasizinda yase-Australia.

I-Australia ingaba sempini ngaphambi kokuba iningi lezepolitiki lase-Australia lazi ngokwenzekayo. Emcimbini onjena, iPhalamende ngeke libe nalo izwi mayelana nokuya ezimpini noma ngokuziphatha kwezingxabano. I-Australia izoba seqhulwini lempi ngokushesha nje lapho lezi zinhlelo sezikhona.

I-AUKUS izoba yingozi ekuvikelekeni kwezwe. I-ADF izolahlekelwa amandla ayo okusebenza ngokuzimela.

Abantu base-Australia be-War Power Reform bakholelwa ukuthi lezi zinhlelo akufanele ziqale ukusebenza, nokuthi i-AUKUS akufanele ibe yiSivumelwano.

Siyakuhalalisela ukuntuleka kokubonisana nomakhelwane, abangani kanye nabasizi, ikakhulukazi okuhlobene nokugcinwa kanye nokuthuthwa ekhaya kwezikhali zenuzi nezinye izikhali zase-US, izinhlamvu nezinto zokwakha.

Siyayinyanya iphrofayili enobutha eyamukelwa kumngane wethu wakamuva kanye nozakwethu omkhulu wezohwebo i-China.

Siyayizonda imisebenzi ye-Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), exhaswe abakhiqizi bezikhali bangaphandle kanye noMnyango Wezifundazwe wase-US, ngokuvala amehlo abantu base-Australia ngokumela kwayo umphumela onjalo oyingozi.
