Defense Minister Richard Marles has shifted strategy, approving three used Virginia-class subs instead of new ones — a move Husic condemned during a caucus meeting, sparking the strongest internal dissent since last year’s national conference. Critics, including former PM Paul Keating, argue this undermines national security and sovereignty, while the opposition labels it a “Labor revolt.” A public inquiry led by former minister Peter Garrett has been launched, accusing the government of bypassing proper parliamentary scrutiny on the nation’s most expensive defense commitment. Despite this, Treasurer Jim Chalmers insists the government remains fully committed — but the road ahead looks anything but smooth.
