- CThe responsibility to defend Australia is limited to those citizens who have applied for and been accepted into a professional role within the Australian Defence Force.
Cevap
The correct answer is that being prepared to defend Australia should the need arise is a fundamental responsibility of citizenship, despite military service currently being voluntary.
The correct answer is correct because it distinguishes between the general responsibility of all citizens to be prepared to defend Australia and the fact that professional service in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) is currently voluntary. Australian citizenship is based on a shared commitment to the nation's safety, which includes a duty to defend it if necessary.
