Malcolm Turnbull Calls For AUKUS Inquiry
The Australian Peace and Security Forum has called for a public inquiry into AUKUS funding. Albanese noted overwhelming support from the British government, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The Prime Minister described the agreement as being "full steam ahead" per a quote from President Trump. The defense comes amid concerns that geopolitical circumstances have changed significantly over the pact's long timeframe, making it a high-risk proposition. Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull stated he supports a parliamentary inquiry into the AUKUS defense pact. He suggested Australia should halt overseas funding for the project while a review is conducted. Turnbull noted Australia has committed billions of dollars to the United Kingdom and the United States.
