Because the Australian Sovereignty Party is fighting to restore and uphold the sovereign and independent nature of our nation, it is critical for us to maintain a Defence Force that has a strong capability to protect our population from hostile threats without having to rely totally upon foreign allied powers.  It is not acceptable that our safety is secured by other powers, particularly when those powers are participating in unjust wars.

It is the goal of the Australian Sovereignty Party to maintain a capable full-time Defence Force, whilst encouraging an increase in Reserve Force personnel.  As Australia is an island nation, with vast coast lines to survey, defend and protect, this nation should have a world-class, high-tech Defence Force to compliment our ability to repel any potential threat.

Australia will, under an ASP stewardship, posture ourselves as a strong, powerful, sovereign and independent country amongst the nations; particularly as we are opposed to the increasing globalisation and centralisation of nation states who are ever heading towards capitulation and relinquishment of their sovereignty to an unelected, tyrannical one world government.  Only a strong, sovereign and free country can truly protect the rights and freedoms of its population, and we should do everything within our power to ensure Australia can stand strong and prosperous even during times of world financial crises.

Australia shall be primarily accountable for our own defence. To achieve this, we propose the following:

• Our first line of defence is to maintain good, friendly, diplomatic relations with other nations.

• We will provide adequate funding for all three branches of our Defence Force.

• We will develop and expand our own capacity to design and manufacture weaponry and other military equipment that we shall need to protect Australia.  We must never be at the whim of other nations to furnish us with the military hardware and ammunition that we require.

• We will immediately call home our troops who are serving in unjust wars. This means the withdrawal of our combat troops from Afghanistan. Only training, support and liaison troops to remain if necessary.

• Australia should never be subject to any foreign/ international treaty or agreement that puts restrictions on our economy, our social policy, or that dictates anything at all regarding how we choose to function as a free nation.  Politicians should never be pressured into doing anything against the better interests of the Australian people.  That is what it means to be a Democratic, Independent, and Sovereign Nation.
