Australia has an opportunity to get out of AUKUS. We should take it.
We ask the Albanese Government to prioritise Australia's interests and security, and to join the UK and the US Governments in undertaking an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS.

No, "Australia" is in not in "a cost-of-living nightmare".
For many, inflation is no biggie.
We're in a poverty and inequality nightmare.
If the media and political class only focus on the cost of things, and not structural problems, we'll never properly tax wealth.
