Guest Low Roller Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Senate votes to bring troops home March 20, 2003 AFTER a protracted two-day debate on the Iraq war, the Senate has voted to bring Australian troops back home immediately. Labor, Australian Democrats, Australian Greens and independents Brian Harradine and Meg Lees joined forces to support the motion Iraq was being invaded without UN Security Council authorisation. Australian troops should be withdrawn and returned home immediately, the senators said. (I bet you won't be hearing that on CNN. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groove Fetish Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 actually waht was the source- I just checked out the Australian indymedia sites and they haven't updated for the 21st and the 20th report says nothing about that. curious on the source as well.

Guest Low Roller Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 yeah, I'm getting kinda skeptical myself as well. The main page of that web site doesn't even mention that article... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBeam Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 I found the article in "Asia Pulse" Here off another Australian News site. Ya never now...but there is certainly no mention of it on the Aussie Senate home page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Hmmm, you know what I'm thinking? I figure this story is probably totally true, but it might be kind of like a Senate resolution here, where it's really more of recommendation, and it's really the House of Commons that has to make the "real" decision... I dunno, maybe someone who knows more about Australian politics (or Canadian politics for that matter! ) can back me up here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
