Manage episode 412777514 series 2494538
This week on the Five Minute Advocate Michael Walker tackles the AUKUS submarine deal, highlighting its exorbitant cost of $368 billion, which he argues could be better spent on uplifting the quality of life for millions of Australia through options like public housing, electric vehicles, or high-speed rail. Michael suggests that this deal is an example of Australia being asked to foot the bill for American defense objectives, potentially compromising our own interests for a conflict with China, our largest trading partner.
