Opposition foreign-policy spokeswoman Penny Wong says the alliance has bipartisan support but Australia must be prepared to make clear any difference it has with the United States. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says Senator Wong is speaking on behalf of Labor's left faction, which he says is divided on the US alliance.
