This is how seriously Australia’s AUKUS partners regard the submarines and technology pact. Resigning hours before meeting your counterpart is a real “who are you?” snub.

If Kim Beazley thinks AUKUS is such a good idea then he should appear at the WA inquiry and address the devastating critiques from the Melbourne hearing.
Regurgitating govt talking points is insufficient to stem growing concerns or address the facts placed before the inquiry.

AUKUS is all in the interests of US military power in Asia and nothing to do with the interests of the Australian people.

Clunkers from Trump and for the future Australia is meant to rely on Britain to deliver the SSN AUKUS boats. But the Brits can’t even keep their own fleet in the water. Ridiculous.
Dump AUKUS now

At last! An independent public inquiry into the fiasco that is AUKUS.
A great team of Commissioners led by Peter Garrett. As days go by the problems, changes and complexities multiply.
Why are we spending $368b to appease Trump and attack our most important trading partner?

Thanks to Ed Husic for saying what we’re all thinking
AUKUS has always been a dud deal and it’s getting worse thanks to ‘Dodgy Pete Hegseth, the Used Subs Salesman’
Caucus needs to roll Marles Albanese the way it rolled Hawke over Reagan’s MX missiles

"Richard Marles is selling the fact he’s been dudded - forced to take dodgy Pete Hegseth’s second-hand subs - as ‘significant savings’.” 1/3

“The fact is for the US whether Australia gets submarines is unimportant. For America, AUKUS is about gaining forward operating bases against China for nuclear weapons capable subs and bombers - and forcing Canberra to pay billions in tribute for the privilege.” 2/3

No nuclear sub base in Port Kembla, or anywhere.
“AUKUS nuclear submarine would ‘place a massive target on our backs’.”

Turns out - and no one serious is surprised by this - that the Royal Australian Navy submariners on US nuclear submarines are required to follow orders from US commanders while on board.
AUKUS puts Australian troops directly into the US war machine.
It’s time to quit AUKUS.

7NEWS has obtained a leaked copy of the naval orders given to Australian submariners on board an American submarine that torpedoed an Iranian warship.
They raise stark questions about the role Australia has played in the war and whether our sailors were directly involved in lethal action. #auspol

'AUKUS IN TROUBLE, UK PROBE WARNS'

Pull the plug on AUKUS now @AlboMP

Imagine delivering a speech warning of a nuclear arms race when your party has policy to sign the Treaty for Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons @nuclearban and you don't mention it, let alone sign it as you're required to under ALP policy @RichardMarlesMP

No support for Trump's wars. No Australian troops in the Middle East. Quit AUKUS now.
Thanks to Woolgoolga branch on the NSW north coast for supporting the LAW motion on Iran.
