Not that strange. The Australian military is more powerful, and due to our proximity and history makes it a good fit for helping defend PNG.

On 21 April 1856, Australian stonemasons in Victoria undertook a mass stoppage as part of the eight-hour workday movement.[15] It became a yearly commemoration, inspiring American workers to have their first stoppage.[16] 1 May was chosen to be International Workers' Day to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago.[17] In that year beginning on 1 May, there was a general strike for the eight-hour workday

As long as Nazi Israel exists and is bent on genocide, Palestinians will continue to suffer.

The victims of Israeli horrors are not just in Gaza.
