Under Labor, Australia is at war with Iran, and, entirely predictably, that means the missiles, the armaments and the acid rain coming down not just on military installations in Iran but on the Iranian people—women, children and men. Innocent people, including schoolchildren, are being slaughtered in their droves, entirely predictably, and, entirely predictably, are being displaced in their tens and hundreds of thousands from their homes. And what is Labor doing to address the consequences—the predictable consequences—of its decision to enter Australia into a war with Iran, supported by the war parties in this place—the Liberals, the Nationals and One Nation, led by Labor, the unholy alliance of war parties in this place? What is Labor doing to respond to the entirely predictable consequences of going to war with Iran? It is slamming the door closed in the faces of the very Iranians that are being displaced.
