AUSMIN

Richard Marles, Penny Wong, Antony Blinken

Defence minister Richard Marles and foreign affairs minister Penny Wong groveled more than usual at the annual AUSMIN meeting as they promised to push forward on AUKUS nuclear submarines and bases. Pip Hinman reports. 

Hidden amid the AUKMIN chatter about the “complex international order” was Australia’s promise of billions to help Britain’s flailing nuclear reactor production line. Binoy Kampmark reports.
