Public inquiry calls Aukus submarine deal Australia's worst defence decision

Original: Aukus is ‘worst, riskiest and most costly’ Australian defence decision ever, public inquiry into submarine deal says " R

A public inquiry into Australia's Aukus submarine agreement has branded it the worst, riskiest and most costly defence decision in the country's history. The report, led by former Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett and ex-defence chief Admiral Chris Barrie, calls for the deal to be suspended and urges a royal commission into the agreement.

Why now: The critical findings challenge a major, expensive defence pact at a time of ongoing debate over Australia's strategic ties to the US and UK.
