The bunkum about our submariners staying in their cabins on the US submarine during the sinking of the Iranian ship, came from a senior ASPI ‘expert’ on ABC Radio.
▪️No-one in government or in the Navy moved to correct this lie.
▪️Now it emerges the Australian submariners were on-station and on-duty — attending to ‘damage control’ during the attack.
▪️Despite earlier denials, the Australian submariners were playing a part in the submarine attack that sank the Iranian ship killing more than 80 young Iranian sailors.
▪️👇. And it was hidden from the public — until today. Thanks due to
