  • AUKUS should be viewed as a unique opportunity to grow our industrial base to support both US and Australian submarine construction, say members of the House of Representatives. The House members note Americas submarine manufacturing industry has been strained by the COVID-19 pandemic but argue it could expand to meet both the US and Australias needs.
  • It is difficult to reconcile the public documents and statements relating to the AUKUS nuclear-power submarine project. Unlike the usual procurement process the defence policy justification is opaque. The schedule and costs are unclear, and the implications for Australian industry vague.

Australian officials have for years been pushing their US counterparts to reform their treatment under arms regulations.

2022 brought a change of government in Australia and a new public tone to its diplomacy - particularly towards relations with China, Southeast Asia and the Pacific - it also revealed Australias deep-seated geopolitical anxieties. The Labor Party government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, stopped beating the drums of war and looked towards respectful, if cautious, cooperation with Beijing. Labor demonstrated continuity on the Quad, AUKUS and deepening security relations with Japan.
