Morrison's Military Gambit: A Dubious Solution to a Complex Problem Scott Morrison's call for Australia to send military assets to the Gulf is a predictable response to the escalating tensions in the region, but one that raises significant concerns about our nation's role in the conflict.
The former prime minister asserts that it's time for Australia to be proactive in defending free shipping and global energy supplies, sparking debate about our involvement.
At first glance, Morrison's suggestion may seem reasonable, given his decision to dispatch a navy frigate and troops to the Gulf in 2020 was widely seen as timely.
