Australia doing the ‘right thing’ withdrawing troops from Afghanistan

Shadow Defence Minister Brendan O’Connor says Australia is doing the “right thing” by withdrawing troops from Afghanistan with the United States. Under President Joe Biden the US and allies will move troops out of the country on the 20th anniversary of the World Trade Centre terrorist attack. Mr O’Connor said when the war in Afghanistan first started there were major concerns the nation would become a “haven for terrorism unchecked”. “It’s hard to believe it’s now become our longest war and 41 ADF personnel died in pursuit of stabilising the Middle East,” he said.
