Albanese government ‘stuffed up’ on declining to send warship to the Red Sea

Sky News host James Macpherson says the Albanese government “really stuffed up” when they denied the United States request to send a warship to the Red Sea. It comes as Iran has sent a warship to the Red Sea amid a rise in tensions after the US Navy destroyed three Houthi boats. According to the Tasnim News Agency, Iran’s Naval fleet has been operating in the area to secure shipping lanes, and repel pirates. Sky News James Macpherson discussed with Shadow Home Affairs Minister James Peterson the government's rejection to send a warship to the Red Sea to fight against Houthi rebels. “The government in Australia really stuffed up by not agreeing to help the United States led coalition by not sending a warship,” Mr Macpherson said.
