Mr Brereton said a Labor government would have nothing to do with NMD research, development or trials because of the potential world unrest it could cause. Mr Downer and Mr Reith should undertake an independent assessment of Australia's long-term strategic interests, not rush to follow Washington right or wrong. Mr Brereton said Labor was looking forward to discussions with the US Assistant Secretary of State, James Kelly, who would arrive in Australia on May 11 to discuss NMD with the government and the opposition.
Labor looks to a frank exchange of views.
