Welcome to another episode of The Goss here on the Aussie English podcast, a talk show where me and my dad Ian Smissen discuss Australian history, culture, and current events.

In this episode, we talk about the Taliban who recently took over Afghanistan.

Due to the ANZUS Treaty (The Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty), Australia sends troops over there as well - and now they have all just pulled out after 20 years!

Tune in as we breakdown why Australia sent troops over to Afghanistan.
