Speaking to ABC's Insiders minutes before Mr Trump announced the attack, Mr Hastie warned that escalating the war was "very dangerous and risky" and could lead to unintended consequences.
"We could see regime change, a collapse of the Iranian regime, large-scale migration and refugees across the world, but particularly Europe. We don't know who would fill the power vacuum," he said.

this interview spoke volumes of Hastie's intelligence and insights. very impressed. the full interview on Insiders is worth watching.
myself, disagree with support for Trump's attack, but I certainly understand Hastie's reasoning.
but its what he said toward the end of the interview that had my attention. "We need to have a more mature discussion..." about our relationship with the US.
its a bit like Hastie said about net zero.... "It's a jacket we have to wear". so too is our relationship with America.
really keen to read views from all sides on this people. I hope you watch the interview if you haven't already.
