Malcolm Turnbull has joined the chorus of former prime ministers criticising the government’s $368bn AUKUS deal, saying there are more risks than there are rewards.
"they’ll operate under American regulations … that wouldn’t be a sovereign capability.”
Mr Turnbull said if Australia had gone with the French nuclear propulsion submarine, which uses a lower grade of uranium and workers could find work in similar roles in the civil industry.
Mr Turnbull also questioned whether Britain would be the most stable partner in AUKUS, given its economic instability and has no military presence in Asia Pacific, unlike France.
