In late January 2023, barely a year into the Albanese government’s first term, Defence Minister Richard Marles took chief of navy Mark Hammond – one of Australia’s most experienced submariners – to call on Labor’s most vocal AUKUS critic, Paul Keating. Marles’s mission was straightforward, if optimistic. He was hoping Hammond, a true believer in the $368 billion nuclear submarine program and one of its most persuasive advocates, might soften Keating’s withering opposition to the trilateral security pact, or at least win his silence.
“Every other US ally is busy rethinking decades-long assumptions and plans based on a reliable America. Australia is lonely in resisting admitting anything has changed, and even more extraordinarily, continuing with plans to make Australia’s military more dependent on America and American military production than we are now.”
