The Labor Party opposition has withdrawn its initial promise to withdraw troops from Iraq. They have also joined the Liberal Party (Howard) in refusing to legalize gay marriage. It's hard to differentiate between the parties - the result of our election will come down to just one question; Who will best look after Australia's security?
My guess is the answer will be Howard.
Maybe the opposition is worse, I don't know.
Can you tell me where and when the Labor party withdrew this promise. I've heard it repeated this morning. They have slightly modified their language, and said they will take advice if elected, but as far as I am aware, it is still ALP policy to withdraw all Australian troops (with the possible exception of a small force to guard our embassy) from Iraq by Christmas, if elected.
It's not impossible I've missed something, but the ALP website still says it's their policy.
