AUKUS is a toxic package, not just hundreds of billions to maybe get a handful of US nuclear subs, it’s expanding US bases here, taking the nuclear waste AND going to war with China whenever the US demands it. Paying to surrender sovereignty and join the next US war! End AUKUS.

Australian tax law has been weaponised to fund a foreign military, via misuse of the Charities Act.
