1. Cluster bombs are dangerous & have been used widely by the US since the Vietnam War; many unexploded bombs remain a threat today & Australia should not support the US's continued use of these in conflicts such as Afghanistan & Iraq. 
2. Australia must lead by example; we can not condemn Iran or North Korea for building up stockpiles while failing to condemn the US which has the greatest number of nuclear weapons. 
3. We commit to full troop withdrawal and war reparations; Through going to war on Iraq we have become responsible for the deaths of 100s of thousands, if not a million Iraqi lives. We must give them the aid they need to rebuild their nation. 
4. We commit to full troop withdrawal and help Afghanistan build up their own self-determination; people are now more oppressed than the unjust invasion & our troops should not be supporting the US in propping up Afghanistan's corrupt government & provide assistance in helping the people with reconstruction. 
5. We support more diplomacy and this can only come about by distancing ourselves from imperialist and warmongering foreign policies; harbour and build solidarity, diplomacy and support with oppressed nations.  

(3) A planned systematic withdrawal yes, but not an immediate withdrawal.
(4) As above - Iraq.
(5) First I've hear of this, but I support it in principle.
