AUKUS: Are we any safer?
March 14 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Despite the overwhelming concerns around the AUKUS nuclear-powered submarine deal from academics, politicians, and senior military experts, alongside the general public, the Australian Labor Government remains committed to this deal orchestrated by Scott Morrison!
Polling by the Australia Institute indicates that the Australian community is less than impressed.
54% of Australians now want a more independent foreign policy. 66% support or strongly support a Parliamentary Inquiry into AUKUS and fewer than half (49%) believe the agreement would make Australia safer.
This free community event aims to bring to the broader community 3 experts to present facts and views to shape, inform and broaden our knowledge on these critical foreign policy issues.
