Pyne on AUKUS Subs and Strategic Shift | Sydney News
Description
Former defense minister Christopher Pyne is sounding the alarm on Australia’s AUKUS nuclear submarine deal, calling it a colossal, likely over-budget and delayed project—but insists the real win is strategic. He argues the subs will give Australia a vital military edge in the Indo-Pacific, especially against China’s rising navy, and will anchor a new U.S. Navy base in Western Australia, boosting regional security. While critics warn of capability gaps and lack of transparency, Pyne sees the pact as essential for Australia’s future, even if it’s not officially a joint base—HMAS Stirling near Perth is already becoming one in practice.
