Robert Mitchell on war powers reform

by Staff Writers | Sep 23, 2022 | War Powers Reform

Labor party MP Robert Mitchell offered MWM a response that largely followed the party line:

“Executive level Govt should have the authority to make an urgent decision as a last resort in grave circumstances. I think Parliamentary scrutiny as soon as practically possible. At this year’s Labor Party Special Platform conference it was resolved that an Albanese Labor Government will refer the issue of how Australia makes decisions to send service personnel into international armed conflict to an inquiry to be conducted by the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence, and Trade. This inquiry would take submissions, hold public hearings, and produce its findings during the term of the 47th Parliament.”
