Now, that has been taken to a new dangerous, illogical and expensive extreme with the [$350bn-plus] Aukus deal which both governments bought into, Morrison to begin with and then the current Labor government. I’m on a unity ticket with Bob Carr and Paul Keating. This is the worst deal that we’ve ever seen done by a sovereign Australian government.” Peter Garrett <br>>><br><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/feb/07/peter-garrett-this-is-the-worst-deal-ever-done-by-a-sovereign-australian-government" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2</span><span class="invisible">025/feb/07/peter-garrett-this-is-the-worst-deal-ever-done-by-a-sovereign-australian-government</span></a></p><p>Australia Is a Subimperial Enforcer of the US-led Order, Clinton Fernandes <br>"AUKUS makes Australia effectively undefendable, except in the context of a US-UK military strategy."<br>>><br><a href="https://jacobin.com/2022/11/clinton-fernandes-interview-australia-us-imperialism-sovereignty-capital" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jacobin.com/2022/11/clinton-fe</span><span class="invisible">rnandes-interview-australia-us-imperialism-sovereignty-capital</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/AUKUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AUKUS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Pacific" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pacific</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SubimperialPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SubimperialPower</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/subservience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>subservience</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/sovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclear</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NuclearNonproliferationTreaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearNonproliferationTreaty</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NPT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NuclearWeapons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearWeapons</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NuclearWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearWaste</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/RadioactiveWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadioactiveWaste</span></a></p>
