In response to After the Iran war, Gulf nations face tough decisions on the US

Words from a forgotten man

PM Albanese has expressed his strong support for the US and Israel in their illegal war on Iran. Just to refresh his memory here’s what he said about the illegal war on Iraq in 2003.

“Our government is about to redefine us in the eyes of the world as willing backers of US militarism… This is an unjust war without UN backing. Iraq does not represent a threat to Australia. What does that say about the sort of nation that we are? We are a multicultural nation, and yet here we are sending a message, particularly to the Islamic world, that we are a part of the old, white, Anglo-Christian order …” - Anthony Albanese, Adjournment speech on Iraq war, 2003.

To echo Bob Bowker, “After the Iran war, Australia faces tough decisions on the US.” Not to mention the clowns we choose to lead us.
