Adam Bandt calls for protection from a potential ‘trigger-happy’ Trump
With a potentially trigger-happy Trump now Commander-in-Chief of the United States, it is dangerous and irresponsible for the Prime Minister to continue to deny Parliament a say in whether we commit our troops to war.

Adam Bandt’s full question to the Prime Minister:
The new United States President Donald Trump appears to be dangerously unhinged, has a sycophantic relationship with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and is surrounded by far-right ideologues who seem hell-bent on war, including in our region.
So far, Australia has followed the United States into every war every time they’ve asked.
Prime Minister, can you understand why Australians are now worried that they may wake up one morning to find that in a private phone call you have committed Australia to another American-led war?
Given how dangerous Donald Trump is, will you commit to supporting the Greens’ bill to require a full and public Parliamentary debate and decision before Australia follows the US into their next war?
