Canberra/Los Angeles | Defence Minister Richard Marles has dismissed calls to develop a fallback plan in case the US reneges on a deal to provide nuclear-powered submarines, saying there can be no more chopping and changing.
Confident the Pentagon review of the $386 billion tripartite security pact announced on Wednesday (Thursday AEST) was a “perfectly natural” act by an incoming government, Marles said there could be no going back to the days of the Coalition government that wasted time and money pursuing nuclear submarines from both Japan and France before settling on the AUKUS plan.
