Australia's Army Preparing for Deployment in Syria?

Australia's defence forces to be maintained at battle-ready status
''It will be Pakistan across to Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan. That's the area where there will be i
instability and that's the area that we might need to go back into at some point in the future.
''I can't foresee that right now, but … if you were to look at where the next area of instability is likely to be - and we're seeing it unfolding in Syria today - a contribution from Australia is most likely to be in that part of the world in the future. I think Pakistan is also highly problematic.''
The West Australian Senator (pictured), a former justice and customs minister in the Howard government and Tony Abbott's defence spokesman, stressed he did not see Australians fighting in Syria.
