Announced at the Shangri-La Dialogue, the move comes alongside a new trilateral underwater drone project with the U.S. and U.K., signaling deeper security ties. But tensions simmer as U.S. Secretary Pete Hegseth’s militaristic rhetoric — echoed by Marles — sparks debate over whether Australia is aligning too closely with a vision of warfare that some say ignores international norms. The shift may reflect unspoken hurdles in the original plan, forcing Australia to balance strategic loyalty with its commitment to global rules.
