The defence minister is being urged by the Opposition to haul backbencher Ed Husic into line after the Labor MP broke ranks to call for a rethink of the AUKUS nuclear submarine deal.

Husic went public with his reservations about the pact following revelations Australia will only get second-hand submarines from the United States under the agreement.

His comments follow Midnight Oil frontman and former Labor minister Peter Garrett announcing plans for an independent "people's inquiry" into the national security implications of AUKUS.
Husic, who also questioned the deal during a private caucus meeting on Tuesday, said Australia needed to reconsider its commitment to the deal with the US and the United Kingdom because the US was becoming an increasingly unreliable ally.

"You do wonder whether or not we will get the deal, even the reconfigured one that we have got," the western Sydney MP told reporters at Parliament House.

Australia was to receive a mix of new and used submarines. Now, it will only get used ones.

Two factories, one in NSW, at Mulwala, and one in Victoria, in Benalla, manufacture the munitions that end up inside the shells, bullets, missiles and bombs used by the US-Israeli death machine in its expansionist, genocidal campaigns.

Australia’s complicity in Israel’s atrocities has many ugly layers. It’s worse than the bomb release mechanism on the F-35 death...

As Australia awaits the arrival of the first Virginia-class submarine in 2032, Mr Marles has previously announced that the existing 1980s-designed Collins-class vessels will have their lifespan extended for an additional decade. These upgrades are expected to cost around $11 billion.

The Deputy Prime Minister has announced a significant shift in the AUKUS deal, with Australia to purchase three second hand nuclear submarines and move to focus on new unmanned underwater drones. The shift comes amid doubts over US capability to produce enough new vessels, prompting concerns that…

Marcus Strom, the national convener of Labor Against War, said Marles was compelled to accept “dodgy Pete Hegseth’s second-hand subs as ‘significant savings’”.

Strom said that from the US perspective, whether Australia ever got Virginia-class submarines was unimportant.

“For America, Aukus is about gaining forward operating bases against China for nuclear weapons-capable subs and bombers – and forcing Canberra to pay billions in tribute for the privilege,” he said.

Defence minister says ‘cost-effective’ decision to buy only secondhand Virginia nuclear-powered submarines will make training and operations easier

An annual United Nations report documenting sexual violence in conflicts worldwide has included Israeli forces for the first time since the review began more than 15 years ago for their treatment of Palestinian detainees. Israel denies the accusations.

The 35-page report — shared by the Israeli mission to the U.N. late Thursday ahead of its expected release Friday — blacklists 77 government and non-government parties in a dozen countries suspected of committing or being responsible for sexual violence in conflicts around the world. It says the number of cases rose sharply in 2025 from 2024.

Russian armed and security forces were also blacklisted for the first time this year for sexual violence against prisoners of war and civilians detained during the war in Ukraine.
