Australia sends 250 troops for rescue mission but ex-defence force chief says ‘we’ve just left it far too late’
The Australian government has been accused of waiting far too long to organise a military evacuation mission to Afghanistan, as it sends 250 defence force personnel to the region in a last-ditch bid to help people flee the Taliban.
Amid shock at the fall of Kabul to the Taliban, the Australian government promised to “continue to work with key partners in the days ahead” to seek the safe passage of more than 130 Australians in the country, along with Afghan nationals who worked alongside its troops and diplomats, and humanitarian visa holders.
After chaotic scenes at Kabul’s international airport, one of the few places not under Taliban control, the Australian government updated its travel advice, telling citizens they should “not go to the airport unless told by the Australian government”....
...Several Kabul sources with links to Australia – hoping to be included on the evacuation flights out – told the Guardian the Taliban were going house to house seeking those who had worked with, or assisted, foreign forces.
“They are doing it everywhere. That is what they have been tasked to do. They ask everybody in the house what they are doing, are they connected with western countries.”

The Biden Disease goes global.
The Australian military is too busy threatening and imprisoning their own citizens- They won’t be able to do any missions to Afghanistan.
well in that case, just tell ‘em that they’re running around Kabul without masks
Maybe the Australian Government relied on the U.S. assessment that it would take 90 days for Afghanistan to fall. But then, the Australian Government is full of wokesters and dimwits at this time in their history, so it is understandable anyway that they screwed up their own evacuation.
“The Biden Disease goes global”
Yeah, ridiculous, especially since we gave them a good heads-up some time ago of our intentions to bail this weekend.
Uhhh…we DID give our allies plenty of notice, right? RIGHT???
Watch them open their doors to the infected while they brutalize their own citizenry....much like they are doing here right now in the dead of night while we sleep
