Former foreign minister Julie Bishop has offered to help the government secure the release of three Australians jailed in Iran.

Melbourne woman Kylie Moore-Gilbert is being held in an Iranian prison after being arrested more than a year ago.

She is joined by travel-blogging couple Jolie King and Mark Firkin who were detained in Tehran nearly three months ago for allegedly flying a drone near a military base. Ms Bishop said she had a long-standing relationship with Iran's foreign minister and was happy to help if asked. Image: News Corp Australia

Another attention seeking initiative by an unwanted has-been politician? Why is she even given any oxygen?

If she's not careful, the Mullah's may not let her keep her head. Caution, Ms. Bishop.

! The Libs have clearly suffered with the punters since your brand of aloofness has disappeared. 😳

Yeah.....na.....

What the

Well if she gets detained herself then gov should just give up. That will save taxpayer money, less socialist communists in gov plus they all love religionofpeace anyway so it's a win win win

We should send her. Then the Iranians can lock her up too.

Great idea the supreme misogynists of Iran would absolutely kowtow to a woman negotiating with them.

We have a foreign minister thanks - not your job any more Jules.

Yesterday’s man. Bugger off Bishop.

🤪🤡😂

Julie Bishop has to be one of the hottest GILFs in Aus.

What, another Putin 'buttonhole' type approach, after the 'shirtfron fiasco'. Stay with your day job, the one with the organisation you handed billions to when you worked for us?

No, we have a Foreign minister.

🤪🤪🤪🤪

Ahhh thanks Jules... but we're good. Bye.

what rubbish, tell her to piss off

Her buddies?

I can just see her over there in a sequinned hijab flirting with the ayotollah

Yes... Lets hope she can negotiate a swap deal using herself.

Ms Bishop would be able to get released, however leave the bludgers there we don't need spies in this great country.

This woman is a turd.....I used to go in and out of evian prison daily...I know the head honcho..personally....and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad..was in the next office...the NSA offered me ajob which I refused..oz was simply a bumbling stupid outfit

Let me help, I’ve bought new shoes 👠 for the press conference

pretty sure she has done enough damage to Australia and its People.. buggar off.. she just wants more hand outs.. outsiders Hardgrave Credlin

Relevance deprivation at its very best 😂😂😂😂 HonJulieBishop

Bishop is useless. Her behaviour towards Indonesia and their executions of some of the Bali Nine, was reprehensible and grossly insulting towards Indonesia's laws and Sovereign rights. Payne is doing a good job, knows when to shut up.

If her male colleagues around a cabinet meeting ignore her what's her chances of Iranian men giving a fuck ?

Offering to swap places?

What is going to do, throw her louboutins at them?

I wish you never left

Julie has probably slept with a few iranian diplomats...

Why couldn’t she convince the Ayatollahs to take back the 300 of their citizens who are still being supported by the Australian taxpayers. Proved not to be refugees, yet we cannot deport them because Iranian won’t take them unless they return voluntarily. They prefer ‘detention’

They must have nice shoe shops in Iran?

Just a thought, what would happen to a foreigner flying a drone over an Australian military base?

Why? Didn't Julia leave on her own accord? Was the damage to her PM political ambition so the money didn't matter then? The dust has settled

The sickening sycophant.

...and then talk about how she did it on a gloaty tell-all interview wearing her magical red shoes on theprojecttv...no thanks self-indulgent, self-promoting hasbeen 11votes

What the he'll could she do about it, one of the most incompetent people on the planet next to Hillary Clinton !

Mercenary for hire! Her replacement must feel great that JB wants to step in as a highly paid consultant to do the job that MarisePayne should be doing!

Iran doesn't negotiate with females.

Lol missing the big stage

Is it a clean swap?

What about Julian Assange? In jail fir speaking the truth. “In a time of universal deceit, speaking the truth will be a revolutionary act” You’re a scum bag Julie Bishop

She getting the chequebook out? Julie Obama ...

Is she offering to trade places with them?

Wonder how this makes the current foreign affairs minister feel? Inadequate?

Why is no one negotiating for Julian Assange to be released? He has served his term and is now being held indefinitely....

I doubt Iran will release. They were taken to be human shields for what is coming alongside citizens of the UK and US.

Third Australian detained in Iran identified as Melbourne Islamic studies lecturerUniversity lecturer Kylie Moore-Gilbert has been identified as the third Australian currently detained in Iran It is very sad that Iran locks up clearly innocent and naive westerners.
