Listen "AUKUS : Will Australia acquire AUKUS nuclear submarines?"
Episode Synopsis
BMUC member and well know peace activist Bruce Cornwall shares up to date research into opinions across the Australian political spectrum about AUKUS - the Australian nuclear submarine contract with the USA and United Kingdom. This is an enlightening and thought provoking discussion between Bruce and Rights, Rorts and Rants Presenter Fran Dyson.
Bruce traverses various issues with the AUKUS deal including doubt about the Americans' ability to deliver the agreed submarines to Australia and the staggering ongoing economic cost to Australia.
A view Bruce quotes in the interview is "The idea that we will get nuclear submarines is off with the pixies".
