“Albanese/Carney would do everyone a favour if they reinforced their advocacy/support for a robust international order based on rules that everyone respected…. And for #Australia in particular, it is high time that we put our diplomacy where our mouth is”

For Anthony Albanese – as well as Mark Carney and Keir Starmer – to go along with Trump and Netanyahu’s cynical ploy negates any sense of moral authority we possess – a catastrophe for the rules-ba...

Are they going to bring in their little Donald Trump dolls and toy missiles? Because it's happening right now: a secret defence committee being set up to rubber-stamp AUKUS and US forever wars behind closed doors showing utter contempt for the public, media and rest of Parliament

We now see you for what you are. The three war parties: One Nation, the Coalition and Labor who have never seen a US war they don't want to back in. Millions of Australians disagree with you. They want a government of principle, they want a government of peace.

You cannot bomb your way to peace. Labor must immediately rule out further Australian support for Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal war in Iran.

The Australian government’s reluctance to openly admit that the strikes on Iran are in breach of international law - compared with its loudly proclaimed respect for international law - is the most blatant hypocrisy imaginable. Has interoperability with the US military and war

Under secretly-concluded arrangements with our allies, Australia is now on track to have US nuclear weapons on Australian soil for lengthy periods, starting very soon.

The poor quality of the Australian media pack on full display as Penny Wong breezed through her statement on Iran with absolutely no hard, questions or critical analysis. No analysis of the Israeli /US end game or questions on the claimed destruction of Iranian nuclear capacity

This opinion piece by Peter Oborne is about UK's Labour, but we can say exactly the same thing about @AlboMP @AustralianLabor eg— “Labor’s refusal even to acknowledge that Israel is committing war crimes—has turned Labor into the party of atrocity denial” https://t.co/TYn9R8X91U

Starmer hollowed out his party and destroyed its soul. The future now belongs to the Greens and their leftist allies

Disappointing to see Australian PM echoing Israel and the US. Lyons calls out @AlboMP ‘s ‘propaganda’. Be honest PM and say this is purely about standing with Israel and the US, in an illegal war. Please dont treat the Australian public as fools. The nuclear program excuse is
“Political Propaganda” that’s how the ABC’s @TheLyonsDen described the Australian PM’s @AlboMP response to the US/Israel attacks on Iran.

On ABC News just now @TheLyonsDen "The Americans will probably be relying on Intelligence from Pine Gap in Australia, so will the Israelis. I think the Australian public deserves a straight answer from the Prime Minister. Do you support this war or not?"

This is what @AlboMP should have said. Instead he’s desperate to ingratiate himself with Trump. Just like John Howard and Iraq, PM Albanese is backing an illegal war. #Shame
I strongly condemn the Israeli & US aggression against Iran, in violation of the most fundamental rule of international law - the ban on the use of force. All responsible governments should condemn this lawlessness from two countries who excel in shredding the international order

The clear majority of Australians (68%) say Australia ‘should only support US military action if it is authorised by the United Nations’. The US war on Iran is illegal under the UN Charter. MAJORITY OPPOSE U.S. WARS https://t.co/sOubMmqVJZ

The majority of Australians prefer a policy of neutrality and oppose joining US wars under the ANZUS alliance, polling shows.

Prime Minister does not speak for the Australian people: Polling shows majority of Australians do not support US wars of aggression. “Albanese says Australia supports US action against Iran & stands with the Iranian people’s struggle against oppression.”

Australia’s support of Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal attack is disgraceful. We cannot bomb our way to peace. The Albanese Labor government must immediately rule out any Australian support for this escalation: no resources and no intelligence.
Australia stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against oppression. For decades, the Iranian regime has been a destabilising force, through its ballistic missile and nuclear programs, support for armed proxies, and brutal acts of violence and intimidation. Iran
