Labour's Vanushi Walters has taken aim at the Government, saying its flip-flopping on foreign policy has created problems.  

The party's Foreign Affairs spokesperson told Ryan Bridge it's been inconsistent on calling out breaches of international law.  

Walters says the US and Israel's intervention into Iran is an example of when the Government hasn't called it out, with that war having a direct impact on fuel prices.  

National counterpart Todd McClay rejects that, saying we need to be careful about megaphone diplomacy.  

He told Bridge the Government's maintained our independent foreign policy.  

McClay says we can't have Iran developing nuclear weapons, and the Government's called out some of Israel's atrocities in Gaza.
