Episode Details

Labor’s national conference may be focused on health and aged care, but behind the scenes, billions are pouring into Australia’s AUKUS submarine project — a $4.6 billion boost to the Osborne shipyard brings total investment to $8.5 billion, aiming to build nuclear-powered subs with US and UK partners, creating 10,000 jobs. Defence Minister Marles insists it’s vital for national capability, while some party members push to scrap the deal. PM Albanese, meanwhile, is rallying members to prioritize reform amid political pressure, and just wrapped up a rugby-loving chat with the new UK PM, who reaffirmed Britain’s commitment to the partnership — all while the nation’s industrial future takes center stage.
