Kurdish people in Australia have held rallies in cities across the country as Turkey pushes further into Kurdish-majority areas in Syria.

After speaking to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday morning, Prime Minister Scott Morrison was putting the blame squarely on Turkey.

"At the same time, let's not indulge in any of these other narratives. I don't think they hold water at all." Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Trump had authorised - but not yet activated -"very significant new sanctions" to dissuade Turkey from further offensive military action.Defence Secretary Mark Esper weighed in forcefully, saying Turkey risked destabilising the region and accusing President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of taking"impulsive action."
