says:Good to see a sense of urgency and also a bit of flexibility from our PM.
Being hairy chested, as he started off, has its time and place but it was terribly tone deaf in relation to this humanitarian disaster.

says:It’s amazing how leftie journalists seek “guarantees”, which, if they were given, would later be used to trap those who gave the “guarantee”.

says:This rush and the pathetic excuse from the PM that “It all happened so quickly” is simply unforgivable.
He and Dutton should be drummed out of office forever for this alone. We have listened to theirs and their predecessor’s rhetoric on this pointless conflict for decades and they KNEW at least a year or more ago that the United States was going to be pulling out. Australian soldiers have been begging them for longer than that to get the interpreters out but in typical ‘SloMo’ style, he has obfuscated, weasel-worded and blame-shifted all the way to the death knell and now he’s saying it’s someone else’s fault.
If there was any justice in this country, he and his band of robodebtors, sport-rorters, NBN wreckers and excuse makers would be booted out of office.
Now we have to send our Air Force personnel and valuable AF assets into a precarious situation and great risk because of his film-flam approach to leadership.
