As a former submariner, #AUKUS has nothing to do with the defence of Australia. It has only ever been about the Yanks having nuclear facilities near Australian cities to support their nuclear boats against Asia and China.

Marles’ Defence overhaul raises an awkward question: why AUKUS at all?
Australia’s new Defence Delivery Agency may finally expose an uncomfortable truth – that Australia already has formidable deterrent capabilities through the Royal Australian Air Force and emerging drone systems, making the AUKUS submarine commitment both risky and unnecessary.
