Last Friday, the Guardian and other media outlets reported that three Australians were on the US submarine that torpedoed an Iranian warship, killing 87 people. On Tuesday, the government confirmed it would send a surveillance aircraft, missiles, and personnel to the United Arab Emirates.Jo Tovey sits down with Gabrielle Jackson, Mike Ticher and Ben Doherty to discuss the tests Labor faces back home as Australia’s involvement in the war escalates
