"KEVIN RUDD: Well, Tony, there are national security decisions hanging on this and I think the Australian people would want their elected representatives to not make a snap judgment in a few hours.
I say on behalf of the party that we welcome this new information.
There is no debate or dispute as to whether Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction.
He does.
There's no dispute as whether he's in violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
He is.
The argument before us is what sort of action should be taken and Tony Blair's emphasis, in his speech to the Parliament, and in his intrusion to the report, is that nobody wants was.
Nobody, I repeat, nobody, is out there looking for war.
He's seeking to use this I think to apply maximum pressure to the members of the permanent members of the Security Council to get a strong resolution up now to get the inspectors back into the field."
