AUKUS is sold as a sovereign Australian defence capability. But its strategic logic and dependence on US systems raise a harder question: are Australians paying hundreds of billions to help defend the US homeland, John Menadue writes. #AUKUS #auspol #Defence

If we wouldn’t buy a second hand car from Donald Trump why are we buying second hand nuclear submarines? Who will be responsible for discarding the spent nuclear fuel when their lives are over?

The subs and pumping station were financial land mines left by fascist LNP.

Why is it AUKUS? Why is U.K involved at all? Cos the end game is U.K/ Australia co-designed pipeline of sovereign subs built in Australia. Why is U.S involved then ? Cos U.K uses secret U.S tech which they are very reluctant to share. #auspol
