Petition: Launch a Parliamentary Inquiry into AUKUS

AUKUS Security Pact

Australia has an opportunity to get out of the AUKUS security pact. We should take it. 

The Trump Administration has announced a review of AUKUS, joining the UK in reviewing the joint security pact. Australia now has a real chance to escape this disastrous deal, which has not been properly scrutinised by the Australian Parliament.

AUKUS ties us ever closer to an increasingly volatile and aggressive America.

We ask the Albanese Government to prioritise Australia’s interests and security, and to join the UK and the US Governments in undertaking an independent parliamentary inquiry into the AUKUS security pact.
