Yes, there's a huge cover-up over #AUKUS.
It's not just costly and potentially useless, but a major threat to Australian national security, as the Albanese government enmeshes us even further with the fickle fascist war criminal regime in Washington. #auspol

Richard Marles refuses to talk about AUKUS. Luckily, US and British officials have more to say. And it's very, very scary, writes Bernard Keane.
Is AUKUS the biggest cover-up in Australian history?
Both British and American officials are saying there are huge problems around their submarine construction programs. But Richard Marles refuses to even talk about AUKUS.

Without realizing that Albo and his cabal are there not to challenge the status quo, but to protect it on behalf of vested interests.
When Albo said "no-one left behind", he meant corporate donors.
