AUKUS: What Is It? And Why Has It Caused So Much Controversy?

AUKUS is a military alliance between Australia, the UK, and the US that was originally agreed upon in 2021. The deal will see the three countries collaborate their resources and information to design a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines. The deal is projected to cost the Australian Government upwards of $300 Billion AUD. The deal has since been criticized by multiple sources, including; France, China, and the Australian Public.
