We believe any decision to take Australia into international armed conflict should be made by the Parliament, and not by the PM or the Executive alone.

#auspol Labor Senator Raff Ciccone celebrates Australia's growing "partnership" with the UAE, despite that govt being accused of funding major atrocities in Sudan.
Great to join colleagues at the Australia-UAE Parliamentary Friendship Group Reception in Canberra, hosted by UAE Ambassador Dr @altaffaq.
The UAE has faced sustained Iranian missile and drone attacks on its cities and infrastructure, and Australia has stood with our friends, providing support to help the UAE and the thousands of Australians who live there. We are grateful for the care and support the UAE has shown Australians throughout the conflict.
Our partnership is also growing economically. Two-way trade reached $12.7 billion last year and the Australia-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement has just marked its first anniversary, opening new markets for Australian businesses and supporting local jobs. 🇦🇺🇦🇪

The #UAE has so much blood on its hands in Sudan. For its nominee to lead the UN would be an outrage.
Lana Nusseibeh has been the face of a disastrous Emirates policy that has prolonged war and death. It is a scandal that she is even being considered.
