Yes, Australia can defend itself independently
Australia fears abandonment, but when it happens, Australia copes remarkably well. It can do so again in an era of fading American influence in Asia.

Please. Australia. Quit. AUKUS.
AUKUS was a Morrison brainfart that has gone too far and has already cost us billions with zero to show for it.
So many ills Australia faces now could be fixed with the money that has been allocated to Morrison’s idiocy.

Can we just admit, that, like everything else that Scott Morrison did, AUKUS is a complete & utter stuff-up?
Can we return to good sense?

The stitch-up electoral donations "reforms" the government is ramming through parliament with Coalition support will be absolutely ripe for a constitutional challenge, because it directly undermines an aspect of what the implied freedom guarantees - a level playing field.
