Australia is providing intelligence architecture, intelligence collection, communication systems, military intelligence specialists, and the political cover that helps support the assault.
Australia was among the first countries to publicly endorse the US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
In a joint statement issued hours after the attack on 28 February, Anthony Albanese, Wong and defence minister, Richard Marles, said Australia supported the strikes.
“We support the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent Iran continuing to threaten international peace and security,” the statement read.
One of the strikes killed more that 170 people at a girls’ school, most of them children.
The government has since expanded its involvement. On Tuesday Albanese announced that Australia would send a military aircraft and 85 Australian Defence Force personnel to the United Arab Emirates to assist in the defence of Gulf nations targeted by Iran.
Experts say the move effectively makes Australia a party to the conflict.
WTF are they doing? I was hoping Wong at least would know better than turn herself into a war criminal...
The post isn't merely about the article or US foreign policy though... It's about Australian foreign policy and our politicians' decision to be Trump's lapdog.
Albo, Marles etc. now also sending our troops to war.
Since people in this community are so well aware of the link, they may be inclined to discuss this major foreign policy decision from our politicians in this community dedicated to australian politics.
You and me won't. Palantir's AIP might get a good idea:
The assessment enables a broader range of Australian government agencies and commercial organisations to use Palantir’s Foundry and artificial intelligence platform, AIP.

Well, I generally don't consider satire to be a solid argument, it usuallp consisting of a joke and all. But if it makes people think, I'd consider it a win.
This bill is clearly not an effective solution for the stated problem. If you think it is, you'd probably make a good liberal senator.
Are you implying that Australia has freedom of speech enshrined in our laws? Please could you point me to them?

The real question is: why is Australian political decisions about deployment to the US' war determined by Trump's paranoia?
Insane stuff

Oh, so screwed...
Who'd they ask? Not me.
What a headline. Where's the active agent in this? Or does going to Sydney protests just naturally carry the risk of going blind? Wtaf

Cool. I was referring to last night's Senate vote that passed 34-19.
Most of the Coalition. All of Labor. None of the cross-bench.
34 yes 19 no

All good
Satire, I thought it was obvious.
I'll take that as a no
