“...Australia will send 11 military personnel...
where five Australians are already posted...
almost tripling our contribution to the combined maritime force...”

Australia has something on the order of 25 million people. We have 330 million people. On a per capita basis they are spending a lot more per person to have someone on duty in the Gulf than we are. What they’re doing is showing the flag and being supportive. I read the first comments, and they show a lack of understanding of the situation.

Australia to send military personnel to help protect Red Sea shipping but no warship; they will be throwing stones at the evil Houthis
