Australia should pursue an independent foreign policy of “Peace Through Development” rather than be a dinghy in the wake of an Anglo-American aircraft carrier.

Australia is at a crossroads.

If we continue down the path we’re on, we’re headed to war, and likely nuclear war.

But it’s not too late to break free of the dictates of the Anglo-American war hawks and pursue an independent foreign policy.

The key concept is that if we are to have peace, we must have a common interest. Something that everyone can work together to bring about. Something that is in our own self-interest and also benefits the general welfare of mankind.

What is that something?

It’s progress - a rising standard of living.

How can this be achieved?

The Citizens Party supports a concept called the World Landbridge, and the key institution through which Australia can participate is a Government-owned National Bank.
