Wednesday Headlines: Trump and Putin hold phone call about Ukraine-Russia ceasefire, More Israeli airstrikes in Gaza as death toll climbs, Treasurer promises substantial cost of living relief in the budget and NASA's stranded astronauts are finally on their way home.
Deep Dive: AUKUS—the trilateral security pact between Australia, the UK, and the US—was sold as a game-changer for our national defence, promising a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines and cutting-edge military tech.
But years on, with an eye-watering $386 billion price tag, no guarantee of receiving the subs on time (or at all), and a new US president prioritising “America First,” is the deal still worth it?
In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Nine’s Chief Political Editor, Charles Croucher, to break down where AUKUS stands, what’s at stake, and whether Australia should rethink its biggest-ever defence investment.
