Instead of wasting more time on the flawed Aukus submarine program, we must go to plan B now | Peter Briggs The submarines Australia currently wants to buy and build are too big and too expensive. Alternatives are obvious – and limited

For all the debate about AUKUS, building logistic assetts that support the ADF in peace and war may be more important. More decisions like this please Minister Marles. #AustralianDefence
