The #Senate this morning debated a #bill that will require #both #houses of #Parliament to vote before the #Government can send #Australians to #wars overseas.

90% of Australians support this reform with most astounded that the Parliament does not already have this reform.

The #Albanese #Labor Government and the #Liberals #oppose this.

Both are committed to keeping the decision to send Australians to war as a #secret decision made by a handful of #cabinet members with no democratic #oversight.

Currently, in Australia, the #PrimeMinister or #DefenceMinister can #unilaterally take Australia to war with no parliamentary oversight before that decision is made.

#Polling has routinely shown an #overwhelming #majority of Australians want there to be parliamentary oversight prior to the #deployment of #troops.

War power reform bills have been proposed in various forms for over 20 years, but have been routinely rejected by the Liberal and Labor parties.

The Albanese Labor Government has sent 85 military personnel, including an RAAF E-7A Wedgetail aircraft and medium-range air-to-air missiles, to the #UAE.

This decision was made in a closed room by a handful of Labor cabinet members, with zero parliamentary or public engagement or consent.

We now know that the information collected by the E-7A Wedgetail is being provided to the #US in this disastrous war of choice on Iran.

Senator #DavidShoebridge, Greens spokesperson on Defence and Foreign Affairs, said: "The Albanese Labor Government has dragged Australia into another US #foreverWar, and the public never got a say.

"Having Parliament vote before sending a country to war is common in #democracies. That is the case in #Germany, #France, #Finland, #Denmark and #Spain, to name a few. But the war parties here want to keep making that decision in a dark room that only they can enter.

"The majority of Australians do not support #Trump and #Netanyahu's war on Iran or the Albanese Labor Government backing it in. This is why the war parties are so resistant to giving Australians a say on this latest disastrous war.

"We are living through the chaos of a war that was supported by a handful of powerful people without public consent. If we had this law in place, then the Government would have had to justify their position before committing troops and the public would have had a chance of stopping it.

"Right now we are seeing death and violence spreading across the #MiddleEast, and Australians are feeling the #economic #impacts with cost-of-living increases and #chaos.

"Australians should decide if we go to war, not #Washington, not a handful of people in the war parties and not #Trump.

"We needed this law before #Vietnam, before #Afghanistan, before #Iraq and we certainly need it now." #auspol

It must be tough for #Trump: starting a #war with #Iran, but finding it terribly inconvenient to finish it before collecting a shiny prize from #Netanyahu or sharing a stage with #China’s #XiJinping.

In war, as in peace, timing is everything. With the #globalEconomy #teetering on fears of an uncontrolled #escalation in #attacks on #electricity, #oil and #gas installations in the Gulf, Trump revealed that he was having such “#productive” #conversations with #Tehran that there would be a five-day pause in US strikes on “Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure”.

The trouble is that Mr Trump’s talks may not exist. Tehran denies having them.

If real, they would be a welcome de-escalatory step. They are also an admission that Trump’s threat risked consequences more damaging than its intended target. But it also means that after markets close on Friday, Trump could return to “bombing our little hearts out”.

It is as unsurprising as it is grotesque that the #US #president would speak so lightly of potentially #killing hundreds of #civilians.

Neither is Mr Trump likely to have been telling the truth in claiming “major points of agreement” in talks with Iran, including commitments on nuclear weapons and the reopening of the #straitOfHormuz.

But messages may have been passed, via #Egypt’s foreign minister, between Iran and Trump’s #MiddleEast envoy. Sir #KeirStarmer saying that he was “aware” of talks between Iran and the US only confirms that diplomatic engagement is under way, but its scope and substance remain unclear and contested.

#Uncertainty fragments attention in a moment of crisis. This is important because, quietly offstage, Israel is advancing measures in the #WestBank that shift its #occupation to #annexation. Husam Zomlot, the #Palestinian ambassador to #Britain, wrote in the Economist last week that Israel’s government aimed to “deal a deadly blow to Palestinian statehood under the cover of war”.

This is a serious charge, but it is not unmerited. The process seems to have begun in February. The #Israeli cabinet approved land registration in roughly half the West Bank, for the first time since 1967. Converting land into recognised legal property within Israel’s civilian system would mean large-scale dispossession of #Palestinians. Peace Now, an Israeli liberal advocacy organisation, was not wrong in saying that this was illegal under #internationalLaw.

In recent days, settlers have been reported to have imposed a #reignOfTerror in the West Bank, with Israeli forces looking the other way. The Guardian reported apparently coordinated settler attacks across Palestinian #villages, including #arson and violent #assaults. This, when the world is looking elsewhere. But the thrust of successive Israeli governments is to lock in favourable outcomes before the wind changes.

If Israeli leaders perceive future US support as less certain, with many #Americans on the left and right wondering about the cost of the alliance, there is an incentive to consolidate territorial control. That might explain the moves to occupy parts of southern #Lebanon and #Syria. Trump has threatened to return to war if Tehran does not make a deal. The likelier reality is more prosaic: indirect or mediated contacts, not a meaningful negotiation. Meanwhile, America’s partner against Iran, Mr Netanyahu, is able – in the run-up to an election – to entrench changes that are difficult to reverse, under cover of war. #uspol #auspol #NeverTrustTrump #TrumpRegime
