N Korea: Former Army chief warns Malcolm Turnbull against ‘bloody ugly’ war with Kim Jong-un
US President Donald Trump says the US military is “locked and loaded” to respond to any attack by Kim Jong-un’s forces, and Mr Turnbull has confirmed Australia would back the United States in any confrontation with the isolated nation.
But Professor Leahy urged restraint, saying “we need to do a lot of talking … [and] play as much as we can behind the scenes to stop this thing getting out of control”.
“I think we need to perhaps take a deep breath and … run as quickly and as hard as we can down the diplomatic and the economic options, because it’s a pretty horrid thought to think that in the space of just a few days — a week or more — we could be at war,” he said.
“It’s going to look bloody ugly.

Jetstar offers flights across Australia for just $13
Jetstar is the latest budget airline to offer its travellers a bargain, with flights across Australia available for just $13.
Only hours after competitor TigerAir set the internet alight with an offer of $1 flights to and from Cairns, Darwin and Perth, Jetstar followed suit.
A total of 10,000 domestic fares – including routes to Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and the Gold Coast, will be available at the bargain basement price.
And the best bit is there’s only a small catch, with the fares available to members of the airline’s ‘Club Jetstar program’ – which costs just $49 to join.
There’s still time to join the club too, with the sale not beginning until noon Thursday and lasting through until 11.59pm tomorrow.
Among the routes on sale are Melbourne to Gold Coast for $13, while Sydney to Perth is available for under $50.
It comes after Tigerair offered 14,000 return flights at $1, beginning from 12pm on Wednesday to 12pm on Saturday, according to The Cairns Post.
Those lucky enough to snag a deal can travel between mid-July to mid-September.
Under the deal, when heading from Brisbane to Cairns it will cost $95 for the flight there and $1 for a return flight.
So that means a ticket will cost $95 from Brisbane to Cairns and $1 home to Brisbane and a ticket from Cairns to Brisbane will cost $95 to Brisbane and $1 return to Cairns.
For the Cairns to Melbourne route a one-way ticket costs $135 with a $1 return.
For the Cairns to Sydney route it will cost one-way $139 and $1 return.
There are a total of 1,600 seats available for the Brisbane to Cairns route, 400 for the Cairns to Melbourne route and 500 for Cairns to Sydney.
Travellers can also fly to Cairns, Darwin, Melbourne, Sydney, Whitsundays and Perth from Brisbane for a $1 return airfare.

Iceberg tourists flock to Newfoundland town
Canada’s CBC News said that over the Easter weekend, the Southern Shore highway near the town of Ferryland was blocked with traffic as photographers – professional or amateur – pulled up to snap the hulking ice mountain.
The area off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador is colloquially known as “iceberg alley” thanks to the large number of ice blocks that drift down from the arctic each spring.
The icebergs are often locked into sea ice, which can last until late spring or early summer, but this one looks like it has grounded and could remain in place, Mayor Adrian Kavanagh told The Canadian Press.
