Before the AUKUS submarines arrive, Australia inherits the risks – part one

In the first of a two-part series, Peter Briggs examines the technical and security risks of relying on highly enriched uranium and an unproven British reactor design for AUKUS submarines.

Who restrains power when power refuses restraint? – Message from the Editor

Across this week’s pieces on P&I, the same question keeps appearing: who or what restrains power when the powerful decide restraint is optional?

How big is the wolf? China in the Pacific

John Menadue

Fraser, Whitlam, Albanese and national sovereignty

Malcolm Fraser and Gough Whitlam both warned against surrendering Australian sovereignty to US military and intelligence interests, but AUKUS and the Albanese government’s foreign policy have deepened that dependence.

The AUKUS mirage: why Australia needs a pragmatic pivot to Plan B
Peter Briggs

The AUKUS mirage: why Australia needs a pragmatic pivot to Plan B
