Bye Bye AUKUS

According to an opinion piece from Hugh White in the New Daily today AUKUS is little more than the wishful thinking of Scomo, Dutton and Marles:

"... Colby’s review will also certainly conclude that America should not sell Virginia-class subs to Australia, unless Canberra offers much clearer and more public guarantees that Australia will go to war with China if the US ever does.

For Canberra, this could well be a deal-breaker, making the end of the AUKUS dream. It certainly should be. "
