The (Australian) federal government knew there were doubts about intelligence on Iraq's nuclear program but still used it to justify going to war, a former Australian intelligence officer said.

Andrew Wilkie, a former senior analyst with the Office of National Assessment (ONA), resigned from his post in March in protest at the government's stance on Iraq.
....
Mr Wilkie said the ONA had made it clear to the Australian government there were doubts about Iraq's nuclear weapons program after receiving advice from the United States.

But Prime Minister John Howard has denied he knew the intelligence claims were in question.
