4½ months before the AUKUS announcement on September 16, senior members of the Biden administration insisted it would only consider pursuing the project if there was solid support from both major Australian political parties.Credit:Campaigning in the marginal Queensland seat of Blair on Monday, the prime minister was asked whether he had misrepresented to the United States the bipartisan nature of the AUKUS agreement.
“I mean, seriously, this was one of the most secure and highly confidential agreements the Australian government had entered into since ANZUS. “This was not something that I was going to be loose with and I wasn’t loose with it. When the opposition needed to be informed, then they were – just as other members of the government were informed at that time.”
LisaVisentin He hoped it'd split Labor big backfire. The father of the US Australia allicance was the Labor Prime Minister John Curtin, Menzies wanted to kow tow to the UK. Labor built the basis for ANZUS.
LisaVisentin Running dogs are not the option of Australia.
LisaVisentin French offended, Labor not in the loop, who cares, unexpected opportunity to acquire allied nuclear capability was the priority ?

LisaVisentin Don't fall for Scotty from marketing again. Most of us are worse off after nearly a decade of LNP.
LisaVisentin Sycophant ScottMorrisonMP sold Australia out for USA imperialism to have a South Pacific military base (nukes included) on Australian soil, under the guise of AUKUS, for this insane US push to crush China. Once U.S. gets a leg in the door, it’s very difficult to get them out.
LisaVisentin A business of that magnitude behind the backs of the citizens?
LisaVisentin Unfknbelievable.
LisaVisentin Morrison politicises everything, come on, we all know he does.
