04: AUKUS Explained feat. Jo Vallentine

Donald Trump doesn’t know what the AUKUS deal is, but Australia is handing the US more than $360 billion for it. When it comes to vital matters of national security, surely we can do better than that — but both major parties are standing firm in backing the dodgy AUKUS deal. In this episode, Kate Hulett speaks to antinuclear pioneer and former Senator Jo Vallentine about how Australians are getting ripped off by AUKUS and why we’ll likely never see any nuclear submarines. This is your primer on AUKUS, with the key facts you need to know. If you have further questions about AUKUS or just want to get in touch, email [email protected] Follow the campaign on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook: @KateforFremantle To sign-up, volunteer or donate, head to www.kateforfremantle.com Subscribe to A Piece of Kate for regular campaign updates.
