The foreign affairs minister, Penny Wong, endorsed the fresh war by stating that “Australia supports action to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent Iran from continuing to threaten international peace and security”.

More like Penny Wrong.

Less than a year ago, the Mango Mussolini said that his administration had successfully dismantled the Iran nuclear program completely and none of the imperial allies argued against that lie.

Now that it suits their agenda, though, Iran was suddenly minutes away from nuking Tel Aviv until Operation Erect Furry put a stop to it 🙄

As for "threatening international peace and security", that's just war hawk slang for "doing the things we do, but against us" and is trotted out every time the US wants an excuse to go commit some heinous war crimes

I'm extremely disappointed, but not surprised that the Australian government has toed this line

I like Albo, but he has shown that his first priority is to keep the powerful players happy, rather than telling them to fuck off

New Zealand was always good for staying strong, but under that revolting cunt Luxon, I don't know what will happen
