Mate if you've been holding back helping the Ukrainians more until something like this has happened, theres something wrong with the your perception of this conflict.
Also that Melbourne School Teachers a true aussie hero.
Empty rhetoric just makes him look weak. "strongest possible action" is meaningless. He's tried to sound tough but by saying nothing he comes across as disingenuous. And politicians wonder why people hate them!
That's diplomatic speak for, "We will go to war over this." International diplomacy is nothing like you and I talking to one another.
We won't go to war over this.

It took us a year and a half to send bushmasters that we were retiring

That wet flog won’t do jack.
Would your prefer a potato?
The potato would be arranging to send Australian prisoners to fight for the Russians, because nothing makes a potato happier than miserable people feeling more miserable. Don't worry .. he's not a monster ..
I’d prefer neither LibLab are the same shit.
His advisor told him before the interview what the strongest possible action they could take is. It wasn't very strong.
Send a fucking plane full of snakes and spiders!
