My question is to the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister wins the next election, will he withdraw Australian combat forces from Iraq before he retires?
John Howard Bennelong, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
The policy of the government has always been that our forces will remain in Iraq according to the rights and interests of the Iraqi people and the interests of this nation and not according to the personal interests of an individual.
