The former prime minister warns of a ‘reckless’ degree of ‘delusion’ in Canberra about AUKUS, saying it risks costing Australia far more than anyone wants to admit.
The Albanese government is facing a push by the United States for a ‘broad ranging and open ended’ commitment to defend Taiwan against any Chinese aggression.
24 hours later the government has backed the US attack on Iran but clearly it remains uncomfortable doing so, but not as uncomfortable in years gone by.
Keir Starmer’s government, like those before it, is firmly behind the AUKUS pact. But there are some doubts the UK can provide the required submarines on time.
It’s becoming harder to argue NZ shares common values and interests with the Trump administration, or that the alliance balances Chinese assertiveness in the Pacific.
The prime minister’s failure to get a meeting is neither a failure nor a snub, but he does need to find a way to make the relationship work.
A “blueprint” for defence cooperation or an “affront” to Australian sovereignty? Expert opinion is mixed on the benefits and risks of AUKUS.
The Trump administration will be much harder to bring on board the AUKUS plan than the Biden administration, which may be the death of the deal. It should be.

The AUKUS sub project is crowding out other priorities across all three arms of the defence force. What does this mean for the proposed defence pact with the EU?
Utu is commonly misunderstood to mean violent revenge, but it really describes reciprocity, harmony and balance – ideas central to New Zealand’s international relations.
Nuclear submarines will allow Australia to project maritime power far from our shores. This is critical for an island nation heavily dependent on trade by sea.
By adopting a different military philosophy as its guide, Australia could manage its security largely on its own.
