## Resource

Australia’s AUKUS submarine deal is in turmoil as plans shift from brand-new nuclear subs to three used American vessels, sparking internal Labor dissent and calls for a Plan B. Former minister Ed Husic warns of delivery risks and production delays, while a crowd-funded inquiry led by Peter Garrett and Chris Barrie demands transparency over the $368 billion project. The government counters that the change saves money, but critics see it as a cover-up, with opposition labeling it a full-blown revolt over mismanagement. The pact is now at a crossroads, facing intense scrutiny and urgent questions about Australia’s defense future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
