It's one of my favorite modern Australian speeches.

edit: Gen: they are linked: "A war unnecessary to achieve the disarmament of Iraq because there remained an alternate way. [Saddam Hussein must be disarmed, but this is not the way"
I dont think anyone expected the ALP to have its own intelligence service double-checking Government/departmental reports on such matters. The point is that there was still a very valid case against the war, and they took the risk in making it. For all they knew, it would be over in a month and make the gvt very popular
