Episode Details

Australia’s AUKUS submarine deal just got a major tweak — all three subs will now be used Virginia-class vessels from the US, ditching the original plan for one new and two used. Officials say this move, a joint decision with Washington, simplifies logistics, training, and maintenance — and could even save money. Critics are raising concerns about US reliability and the deal’s cost, but Foreign Minister and Defence Industry Minister are standing firm, stressing capability over condition and warning that changing course now would only delay Australia’s security future.
