After a day of silence on the issue, Labor frontbencher Peter Garrett has thrown his full support behind a new US military communications base planned for Western Australia.  

vbo: We are getting "a new US military communications base" too. Welcome to the club!
I am definitely going to vote Greens next election. Not only that they are against this new base but they would like to close all coal mines in Australia. I love them!
And they are getting pretty strong, polls show, so they will be some kind of balance of power. Anyway it's not going to stop or change anything in Australia. But it's great to have them. And I don't feel like I am real leftist, ha-ha.
