Second, if a majority of Australians did not want foreign forces in Australia, they would not be there. That is how representative democracies work.
Third, you are assuming the people of Australia are stupid. The presence of US and UK forces in Australia are known to the Australian people. If they are not discussed in Parliament, it is because there is no movement to change the status quo.
Fourth, you are assuming the existence of a conspiracy by the US and some unidentified dark force in Australia to suppress knowledge of the supposed US occupation from the Australia people. Recourse to such conspiracy theory establishes that your position is free of facts.
I'll show you my cards. I'm a US Democrat and a retired US Army officer. Now show us your cards. Are you PLA or CPA?
