## Resource

Australia’s defense secretary dropped a bombshell yesterday, revealing the government’s original preference was always for used submarines under the Aukus deal — a joint US-Australia idea that ditched the original plan. Opposition grilled officials on why they agreed to the initial terms if they secretly favored secondhand subs, with defense arguing it’s cheaper and simpler to train and maintain three in-service vessels. Meanwhile, Aussie troops are relocating from the UK to Poland to train Ukrainian soldiers — bringing them closer to the frontlines as Australia continues its vital support for Ukraine’s defense.
