The acting Greens leader says the exercise, which includes 30,000 Australian and US troops as well as Japanese soldiers, sends wrong message to neighbours

A joint military exercise with the US in central Queensland should be canned as it harms Australia’s independence and sends the wrong message to our neighbours, a Greens senator says.
The acting Greens leader, Scott Ludlam, says the exercise, involving 30,000 Australian and US defence personnel, is about “expeditionary wars and invasions” and has backed peace activists’ trespassing on to the training site at Shoalwater Bay.
“Most people join the ADF expecting that they’re there for the defence of Australian territory,” he said outside a peace conference in Brisbane on Thursday.
“That’s not what they are training for – it’s about landing on beaches and invading other people’s countries.
“I don’t think we should be preparing for a war with China.”
The biennial operation, called Exercise Talisman Sabre, trains both country’s forces in “high-end” war fighting, according to the Department of Defence.
For the first time, Japanese defence force personnel are participating, which some believe could exacerbate regional tensions. More at The Guardian
