Title: Are we at war with Iran?
Post by Daves2017 on Mar 11th, 2026 at 5:54pm
Penny “ I know nothing Schulz Wong was asked this question twice today  in question time but choose not to answer ?

Is Australia at war with Iran or not?

It’s a simple question the foreign minister asked and per usual performance “ didn’t know or could offer any answer “.

Do know if we are at war with Iran?

Send Penny a email so she might get a clue?

P.s in fairness   , Penny ( I know nothing)  Wong is probably waiting for her boss Trump to tell her what to do?


p.ps trump wouldn’t waste his time. He will just get Albo out of bed again at 2 am and give him orders to be passed down

Trump's war is nearly over and he's just starting. By the time we know what his Oz army is doing, it will be different.

No - Iran is at war with us.  Their god has told them the final victory will be theirs..... and that Islam must rule the world as the most feminist, the most peceful and the most righteous religion ideology.

Get it right... Getchu head outchu ass...

Hey - where are Smith and mothra since the Bondi thing?  Been rounded up?

Yes indeed - Wong has been really badly shown for what she truly is since Bondi... can't just stand there and give a straight answer.  Has she had a stroke or something?

Looks like Iran's oil is still going to China.

Even if it isn't going anywhere else at the moment.

Iran sends millions of oil barrels to China through Strait of Hormuz even as war chokes the waterway


Quote:
Iran has sent at least 11.7 million barrels of crude oil through the waterway since the war began, all of which were headed to China: TankerTrackers.

Many ships have "gone dark" after Tehran threatened to attack any vessel attempting to pass through the waterway.

Iran has also resumed loading tankers at the Jask oil and gas terminal along the Gulf of Oman, south of the Strait of Hormuz, which could add additional capacity to its crude shipments.



Quote:
Iran has continued to send large amounts of crude oil via the Strait of Hormuz to China even as the war between U.S.-Israel and Iran has jeopardized broader supplies through the critical waterway.

Iran has sent at least 11.7 million barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz since the war began on Feb. 28, all of which were headed to China, Samir Madani, co-founder of TankerTrackers, told CNBC on Tuesday.

The firm monitors vessel movements with satellite imagery, allowing it to capture vessels that would otherwise go undetected if their tracking systems are switched off. Many vessels have "gone dark" after Tehran threatened to attack any vessel attempting to pass through the waterway.

Shipping intelligence data provider Kpler estimates around 12 million barrels of crude oil to have passed through the strait since the war started. "Given that China has been the primary buyer of Iranian crude in recent years, a significant share of these barrels could ultimately head there," said Nhway Khin Soe, crude analyst at Kpler, adding that confirming the final destination for these vessels had become increasingly challenging.


I wonder what Trump thinks about that?

We never voted to get involved in the war -

Albo just decided we were in it.

Greens introduce Bill to require Parliament to vote before sending Australians to war   
2026-03-11
greens.org.au
The Greens today will introduce a Bill that will require both Houses of Parliament to vote before the Australian Defence Force can be sent overseas to engage in warlike actions. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]   

War power reform bills have been proposed by the Greens for over 20 years, and have been routinely rejected by the Liberal and Labor parties. With Australia being sent into another illegal US war, without any democratic debate or input, the Greens today are reintroducing the Defence Amendment (Parliamentary Approval of Overseas Service) Bill, introduced by Senator Jordon Steele-John in 2020.

There is widespread community support for this reform, including a 2023 poll that found 90% of Australians support war powers reform, to enforce a Parliamentary vote before the deployment of troops.

The announcement from the Albanese Labor Government to send 85 military personnel, including an RAAF E-7A Wedgetail aircraft, to the Gulf and medium-range air-to-air missiles, into the conflict shows Australia has been fully dragged into another US forever war. This decision was made in a closed room by a handful of Labor cabinet members and zero parliamentary or public engagement or consent.

Senator Larissa Waters, Australian Greens leader said: “Labor’s Defence Minister finally revealed the truth last night about Donald Trump’s pressure for Australian deployment. Trump has been pressuring Australia to join his illegal war in the Middle East - it’s Trump calling the shots, and the Labor party is following.

“Albanese’s unquestioning support for Trump and Netenyahu’s illegal war shows why Australians deserve a say before their families are sent to war.

“Australians don’t want war. They weren’t asked if they back this illegal war. Parliament doesn’t get a say. Even the Labor backbench is reportedly unhappy. The only person that Albanese seems to listen to is Trump.

“We cannot allow a handful of the executives behind closed doors to take us to war, endangering civilians and putting Australian lives at risk whenever the US asks.
“Sending service members overseas without parliamentary approval risks unnecessary bloodshed. It undermines the accountability our veterans, their families and the people deserve.

“War will never deliver peace. Instead, civilians suffer, troops die, and the world becomes less stable. Parliament must be a counterweight to our government’s drive to appease Trump, Netanyahu, and others like them.

“The War Parties have fought against this because they know the public doesn’t want war - but the Green will keep pushing for this.”

Senator David Shoebridge, Greens spokesperson on Foreign Affairs, said: “Australia has joined another illegal US war, and the public got no say. That democratic failing is what this bill seeks to urgently address.

“We cannot have a handful of MPs from one of the war parties in the Commonwealth Parliament to send Australian troops into a string of US forever wars with no oversight and no public interest.

“Australians are outraged that after Iraq, after Afghanistan, the Australian military has been sent back to the Middle East as part of a US-Israeli illegal war. The Albanese Government has seen the decades of bloodshed and pain the US has caused across the Middle East, and signed us up for more.

“Australia’s defence and foreign policy elite are addicted to secrecy and hate the public having any say. AUKUS was decided in secret and AUKUS has driven us into this war. Democracy must not stop at the Foreign Minister's office.

“War will not help the Iranian people, it will cause untold pain across the region, make the world a more dangerous place and all done without the consent of the Australian people. It’s time that changed, and time democracy got a chance to save us from the next illegal US war.”

Those are your words put into my mouth.
It's a fact they identify as Jews, were visited by Herzog for that reason, and displayed Israel flags at Hanukkah at Bondi.
So the govt has specific laws for anti-semitism and recognises the fact of being Semitic. Oz is not shooting farmers in West Bank and stealing their land, Israel is.
fact.

Yes I agree they are Australian so we need a Royal Commission on Antisemitism?

Is it ok to hate anyone else or everyone else ?

What happened at Bondi was inexcusable but there is more to this than just Antisemitism. Antisemitism is an important part of the story but far from the whole story.

Strangely, the meaning is lost.
'Semitic: relating to the peoples who speak Semitic languages, especially Hebrew and Arabic.'

War with Gaza is anti-semitic. Iranian is not an Arabic language but their culture is and they use the Arab text.

Well - some of we wiser folk long ago now went for Judeophobia... just to be specific.

I mean - look at the nonsense being bandied about that Trump - thus far not evidenced as having done any Lolita wrong - went to war with Iran to divert from the Epstein files - as if that would change.

Everybody is shouting for the full disclosures.... EVERYONE, including me... well maybe not smithy and mothra and kanga.... they seem to be caught in the bind of saying Mussos are all lovey-dovey, as per the official lne, and now they've shown their true colours....

The warning is out, BTW - about the activation of sleeper cells - and the use of bought proxy gangstahs ..... a little review of that bloke kidnapped recently might be in order.... and watch this space for some apparently odd crimes ...

It is called Jew hating by MPs. That's the almost illegal nature of it, to make a law about a specific religion.  Herzog raised people of Israel to a level above other Australians, by giving instructions here not to protest about Palestine or Gaza.

Giant B52 bombers dropped over 5 million tons of bombs on Vietnam– the largest bombardment of any country in history– and more than twice as much tonnage as the U.S. Air Force dropped in all of World War II.'

These huge bombers conquered North Vietnam which marched into South Vietnam and conquered it.
