Anthony Albanese has backed America’s “unilateral action” to strike Iranian nuclear facilities after a day of silence on the superpower’s decision to enter the Middle East conflict.

    I am shattered that this was our government’s response, even though they don’t have to appeal to right-wing voters anymore.

    They’ve lost their values in their attempt to be politically savvy, and I believe they’ve just put Australia on the wrong side of history.

      Probably more about geopolitics for this kind of thing, especially straight after an election.

      I also hate it, to be clear.

    As a sequel to his cowardly failure to condemn genocide Albo now supports the unilateral escalation against Iran

    The simple and truthful thing to say was that the US had no evidence of nuclear weapons being built and so we are unclear of any justification for this strike - or simply not comment on it if he doesn’t want to anger the US. Australia does not want to be dragged into another war of aggression to help America’s oil&gas and militarily-industrial industries.

    But that was apparently too much to hope for.

    Albo’s better than any Liberal party leader would be, but we can do much better.

    At least when LNP are in power I don’t get my hopes up for a sane response to anything… I was hoping the spinelessness of the ALP was enough to at least keep any statement neutral, pretty pathetic to see them outright supporting the US.
