The Greens senator David Shoebridge called the prime minister’s claim that no Australian personnel were involved in offensive action “extraordinary” and said it was inevitable that Australian personnel would be involved in US action.

“This makes Australia obviously, clearly, unambiguously, part of an illegal war, part of a war that is breaking down the norms of international law and making the world a less safe place,” he said.

“It is as sure as day follows night that Australians throughout the US military are actively involved, part of the United States and Israel’s illegal war in Iran.” ... According to the Royal Australian Navy, one in 10 crew members onboard US Navy attack submarines is Australian.

1 in 10 is a lot!

Huh, I wonder what this means for international law? Who am I kidding that doesn't apply to the US government.

Good grief. Bloody AUKUS. Curse Scomo for signing us up to that rubbish.

Let's remember Australia was supposed to buy French submarines but backed out of the contract in 2021. That's why they have sailors on US submarines now. They decided to tie themselves to US war machine couple of years ago and those are the consequences.
