Episode Details

Australia’s eyeing a $30 billion deal to buy three used Virginia-class subs from the US under Aukus — a move that’s sparking fierce public scrutiny. Led by Midnight Oil’s Peter Garrett and a team of ex-military leaders, former premiers, and nuclear test survivors, a crowd-funded review is demanding transparency on safety, regional stability, nuclear waste, and sovereignty. With hearings ahead and the government confirming the purchase of used subs instead of new ones — plus plans to host US and UK subs in WA by 2027 — this high-stakes deal is reshaping Australia’s defense future — and its relationship with China.
