President Obama addressed the Australian Parliament today, his visit making him the 4th

President of the USA to visit our shores.

The primary reason is to not only address the Nation but to strengthen the ties of the ANZUS

Treaty, and advise of a shared base for 2,500 Marines in Darwin,NT.

That's great Tov. Has Julia been over to the USA to meet him before?

yes Romany, I believe it was last year that she addressed the US Parliament.

Also the 4th Aussie Primeminister to do so.

And,the USA promised 2,500 Marines to keep the balance

Well done.

A good thought.


And, those bayonnets don't hurt either.

I'm curious to know, what kind of threats Australia have, the base with that big marines is offered against?
