My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Minister Wong. The Australian public does not want to be dragged and into Trump and Netanyahu's illegal forever war—a war that has already seen thousands of civilians injured and killed, the world spiralling into economic chaos and even greater insecurity for the people of Iran and the region. Yet the Labor government has confirmed that we are now sending missiles and troops to the gulf, directly putting Australians in the line of fire. Is the deployment of these missiles, aircraft or personnel at the direct or indirect request of Donald Trump's administration? How, exactly, was this decision made?
