We only have a few hundred people deployed there at this point, so it would be largely symbolic, but if the government could be pressured into finally fully withdrawing Australian troops, it would be a nice win for anti-war and anti-imperialist activism.

No. They’ve already laid the ground work for countering a meaningful anti-war opposition, having driven people mad with Sinophobia. They simply need to pivot to talking about Afghanistan’s importance in countering China. And you know what? It’ll be the most honest reason we’ve ever been given despite being psychotic.
A lot of our pathetic left has helped create these conditions, fucking anti-imperialist except whenever it’s needed.
We will withdraw only when the US says to.
