Episode description
Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong addresses the escalating conflict in the Middle East following retaliatory attacks between Iran and US-Israeli forces. Wong discusses Iran's destabilising influence, the risks of regime change, and Australia's priority to support approximately 115,000 Australians in the region. The government has established a registration portal for citizens in Iran, Israel, Qatar and the UAE, with hopes that commercial flights will resume to facilitate evacuations.
