Australia needs a better process where robust debate and a parliamentary vote is held before deciding whether troops are sent into overseas conflict.

Australians for War Powers Reform (AWPR) launched the No War Without Parliament campaign so any decision to take Australia into international armed conflict should be made by our Parliament, not by the PM or the Executive.
