Sydney: Australian Prime Minister Richard Marles refused to invite former Prime Minister Tony Abbott to play an offensive role in Iran's war. Abbott wrote in an opinion article in today's Friday paper that Australia should have supported the US Air Force, including Australian fighter aircraft.
Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott urged Australian leaders to join the US-led campaign in the Middle East to combat the Iranian dictatorship. He warned that Australia could be seen as a "weak nation" if it did not participate, adding, "A nation that is unwilling to stand up for freedom should not expect to preserve it."
