Julia Gillard – Prime Ministerial statement on Afghanistan


Mr Speaker, a national government has no more important task than defending the nation, its people and their interests. That is why we take so seriously any decision to go to war. The war in Afghanistan is no different.

Today I will answer five questions Australians are asking about the war:
* why Australia is involved in Afghanistan;
* what the international community is seeking to achieve and how;
* what Australia’s contribution is to this international effort – our mission;
* what progress is being made;
* and finally, what the future is of our commitment in Afghanistan.
