Alliance a step on path to rescuing democracy
AUKUS sends a clear signal that Australia is becoming a standard bearer in global relations. China is not happy.
AUKUS
Snubbing the French is a foolish mistake
Joint declarations by France’s defence and foreign ministers over AUKUS should set alarm bells ringing.
AUKUS pact is the biggest strategy shift of our lifetime
In the wake of the AUKUS alliance, two things are now clear: Scott Morrison has changed Australia’s future, and China has changed the world in ways it did not envisage.
AUKUS may be more sound and fury than substance
If everything goes perfectly well – and how likely is that? – we get the first of these nuclear subs around, or just before, 2040.
Agreement will bring more US troops, aircraft
Defence Minister Peter Dutton has flagged an increase in US troop rotations under an agreement that will expand America’s military presence in Australia.
Tingle’s ‘khaki election’ claim as Left loses it
AUKUS pact triggers groan-worthy theories at the ABC and Nine, while Australia’s angriest columnist takes aim at the PM’s teen daughter.
‘Delicious that deal was done with Biden, darling of the left’
Readers have their say on the submarine deal of the decade, and the adventures of Kristina Keneally, ‘boat person’.
A clear signal we are a force to be reckoned with

New jobs potential is ‘astronomical’
Thousands more jobs will be created under Australia’s new defence partnership than under the French contract.
AUKUS a turning point for our nation
Two forces have driven this historic event: China’s hostility and Scott Morrison’s vision. Our US-UK partnership is designed to last for generations.
Pact has long-term benefits, if time is on our side
The historic submarine deal looks like a huge development. But our first sub won’t arrive for a very long time, and our security challenges are very close.
Our most dramatic strategic decision in a generation
For the first time in a long time, an Australian government has made a decisive and positive decision about its maritime security.
