Peter Garrett on ‘the AUKUS deception’
Show notes
The submarines are still years away, but the decisions reshaping Australia’s defence posture are already being made.
That’s one of the central warnings from the AUKUS Public Inquiry, which last week called for the submarine deal to be scrapped.
Its lead commissioner, former environment minister Peter Garrett, says the consequences of AUKUS go well beyond its cost – it’s also about Australia’s growing role in America’s military strategy, and our ability to make decisions for ourselves.
Today, lead Commissioner for the AUKUS inquiry Peter Garrett, on what the inquiry revealed about the deal Australia signed, and why he says the government owes Australians an explanation.
