RAAF Hornets to Iraq - question

A genuine question.
The RAAF is sending C130s to Iraq - why not a strike element as well to assist with airstrikes?
I read the RAF Tonkas are already in Cyprus.
I assume it's the perceived politics of doing so, and not any inter-operability or technical limitations?
Possibly cost/ferry time?
