David Shoebridge has held his press conference with Dr Emma Shortis about the need to have an inquiry into Aukus.

Australia is the only partner NOT reviewing Aukus. Which seems kinda insane?

Shoebridge says that the Greens will keep their motion for a review into Aukus on the senate books until they get the numbers:

Let’s have the inquiry. Let’s hear from the public. Let’s hear from the key stakeholders. Let’s hear from people who know that the creaks and the and the leakage that’s happening within the Defence Department – can finally come forward.

We know that if we put the blowtorch on Aukus, if we ask the submissions from the public, if we properly interrogate the Defence Department and Defence officials, that it’s likely to show that this is a $375 billion folly. So why don’t we get out before we waste tens more billions of dollars.
