Summary
Australia’s AUKUS submarine deal is under fire as Labor MP Ed Husic questions whether the country should stick with the pact, citing US unreliability and concerns over promised vessels turning into used ones. Former Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett is launching a crowd-funded “people’s inquiry” to scrutinize the deal’s security value, cost, and nuclear waste implications, backed by military and political heavyweights. Husic’s dissent has sparked party tensions, with the opposition urging the Defence Minister to rein him in, while the government defends the alliance — exposing a deepening national debate over Australia’s strategic future.
