AUKUS and Defence

Politicians say we “can’t afford” housing, healthcare, or education—yet they’ve found $368 billion for nuclear submarines we won’t see for decades. This isn’t about protecting Australia. It’s about locking us into U.S. wars while defence contractors cash in.

AUKUS sells out our sovereignty. We’ve seen the cost of following the U.S. into war. Now, we’re handing them control over our military future—without a vote, without a say.

And let’s talk about the nuclear risk. Australia has no plan for nuclear waste. If you live in Perth or Adelaide, your backyard could become a dumping ground. We take the risks, while foreign arms companies take the money.

A Better Path for Australian Defence

  • Build a self-reliant defence force to protect Australian interests—not America’s.
  • Develop sovereign satellite capabilities
  • Prioritise diplomacy, trade, and climate cooperation in our region.
