My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware of further comments by decorated former SAS Iraq veteran Peter Tinley that we have been dragged into a civil war in Iraq and ‘we can never really see an end to it and we could never see a point in time where it would be okay to remove the Australian troops under the current government’s ideas’? Hasn’t the government’s failed strategy put it in a hole in Iraq? Why won’t the Prime Minister listen to decorated Iraq veterans like the former SAS officer and simply stop digging?
