More than 100 Australian police and troops are headed to Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands, after violent protests led to buildings being destroyed and curfews being imposed in the country.
Here's why Australia is stepping in, and what our servicemen and women will be doing in the pacific nation.Australia has sent AFP and ADF personnel to Honiara, primarily to protect critical infrastructure and support local police. Up to another 50 AFP personnel are being deployed to protect "critical infrastructure", however that will not include the country's parliament nor high-level government buildings, which will continue to be guarded by Solomon Islands police.
What is Australia's defense policy? What else is Australia buying and building to defend its future? Which party is thinking forward in defending this Nation? Act Now
Isn't Australia moving pretty slowly?
What Aussies ALWAYS do? What a question the ABC asks ? Shows how much it’s out of touch
ildfluer lots and lots of propaganda & Mr Morrison will fly in with flak jackets etc to strut around to oversee his troops.
Try to get a nice guy and hope for the government to change their mind, between the relationship China and Taiwan 👎😂☠️
That's the famous Guadalcanal
What They are told to do?
This is about as close as AUSTRALIA will ever get to any kind of military intervention viz-a-viz CHINA + TAIWAN... but isn't it strange that the pro-China SOLOMON ISLANDS president called on Australia for help + isn't it strange that Australia is now supporting him... maybe...?🐒

Solomon Islands unrest jolts Australia's 'Pacific Step-up'The great geopolitical contest of the 21st century is playing out on Australia’s doorstep, writes defence correspondent Andrew Greene. We should not have deployed ADF there, this could get very messy very quickly. IMHO. Give us some trips I wonder how many officers they can medal up they can get away with replacing soldiers with this deployment?

Solomon Islands PM urges calm, refuses to step down as violent protests eruptThe first contingent of a 100-strong Australian police and military force has arrived in the Solomon Islands as a defiant Manasseh Sogavare said that although the country had been 'brought to its knees' by unrest, he would not resign as prime minister. Paying the price for dumping a strong ally and getting into bed with China, taking their money always has consequences and the ‘lead road’ is one of them😎 So, if a State of Australia disliked a decision of the Federal Government then a whole bunch of the people will travel to Canberra and start setting fire to buildings, etc. until they give them what they want?
