Defence Minister Richard Marles has revealed Australia will not be sending a warship to the Red Sea following a request from the US.
The United States first requested support in the Red Sea from 38 countries, including Australia, last week following attacks on military and container ships in the region by the Houthis.
“No, we won’t be sending a ship or a plane – that said, we will be almost tripling our contribution to the Combined Maritime Force,” Mr Marles told Sky News Australia.
“Right now, we have five personnel who are embedded in the headquarters of the Combined Maritime Force and over the next month, that number will increase to 16.
“That is a significant contribution.”

Australia is a beatifuk country but only issue 80% are immigrants
Lost of face but at least save some lives 😅
And you want to fight China lol
It’s like stabbing your mate in the back .
Disgusting cowardly behaviour.
The greenlabor CCP bootlickers are determined to make sure the USA don't sell us nuclear submarines.
Ok now stop wasting money on Ukraine too. Not our business either conflict.
Bloody coward with disgusting ideological views.
What a disgraceful decision and one that’ll be written in the history books as the time when ? before ? happened to Australia?
My read: we don’t have much ammo for our ships and can’t afford to deploy a ship and face a possibility that ammunition would be expended.
Why are you talking instead of doing? How many missiles have been built-purchased,why hasnt the site for the subs been chosen? How would we defend ourselves and with what, and what are you doing (not talking) about it.
What a complete embarrassment. ''We are not sending a ship because we have another ''focus'' '' ? That's the best you can come up with? Marles =>
Get and keep AUSTRALIA,S nose right out of US games!
Disgusting!

Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 3.
“And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.

Marles is a coward slime-bag
If it was a request to send a ship to supply aid to gaza these cretins would be spilling all over themselves in a rush to send our whole antique fleet of vessels and likely come home full of palestinians with cap in hand.
11 extra personell for an admin role.
That is a quarter of Bowen's entourage at COP28.
Bloody disgrace. Of course our government does not give a hoot if fuel prices skyrocket because nothing can get through the Suez canal. And Wong would not be caught dead appearing to support Israel. Meanwhile, Albo is waiting on poll figures to emerge before he says anythjn definitive.
should send one crewed entirely by labor politicians, and green activists, and voice activists, and,,,,,and,,,,,and
