Conscription is simply unnecessary because we are not in an active war. Our mere goal is go to the aid of our friends in the United States, fighting in Afghanistan. The main attacking force is not us and enough men are sent under our hands to this war. A total of 1550 people are working in Afghanistan, serving in Operation Slipper and 22 people have passed away in this war since 2001, creating reason to not increase the number of people in the army. It's not our intention to go to war at all right now. Peace is best, is it not? It is also up to the people’s own choice to enter the army and serve their own country. With conscription, we are moving backwards to the warring times. Our Labor party looks to go forwards, not backwards..
