Australia 'can do more' to help in the Red Sea

ASPI Senior Analyst in Defence Strategy Malcolm Davis says Australia "can do more" to help in the Red Sea as Houthi rebels continue to disrupt trade routes. "We certainly can do more and I think that this crisis in the Red Sea is not over yet," Mr Davis told Sky News host Peta Credlin. "Today the Houthi tried to launch an anti-ship cruise missile which was interrupted by a US Navy fighter jet. "I think this is likely to go on, you're likely to see the Houthi continue to fire missiles. "So what we could do for example is send aircraft into the region known as Wedgetails and could directly support the US Navy and Royal Navy operations by providing additional air defence cover. "So there is more that we can do."
