Description
Politicians and senior naval officers wait on the quayside at Victoria Quay, Fremantle, to greet sailors from HMAS ANZAC and HMAS Darwin as they return from the Persian Gulf and Iraq. Left to right: Simon Crean, Leader of the Federal Opposition; General Peter Cosgrove, AC MC, Chief of the Defence Force; Senator Robert Hill, Minister for Defence; John Howard, Prime Minister; and Vice Admiral Chris Ritchie, Chief of Navy. HMAS ANZAC [III] and HMAS Darwin left Australia for the Persian Gulf on 28 October 2002, under Operation Slipper, Australia’s contribution to the international fight against terrorism, to participate in the Multinational Interception Force enforcing UN sanctions against Iraq. They were then assigned to Operation Bastille, the build-up of Australian forces against Iraq, in January 2003, and then to Operation Falconer, Australia’s contribution to the war on Iraq, in March 2003.
