AUKUS Q&A Recap — What Can Be Done About It?
Thanks to everyone who joined us for last night’s Elect & Reflect Q&A with Rex Patrick
It was a powerful and revealing session. One that cut through the fog surrounding the $368 billion AUKUS submarine deal. From the “kill switch” clause in US legislation, to the timeline blowouts, secrecy and shifting strategic priorities, Rex unpacked what this deal really means for Australia
The big question that kept surfacing wasn’t just what’s wrong with AUKUS — it was what can be done about it
People asked
• How do we hold the government to account
• How can this deal be paused, changed or stopped
• Where are the allies in Parliament or civil society
• And how do we start building pressure before it’s too late
This session wasn’t just informative. It was urgent. And it left many of us fired up to mobilise, connect and push for real accountability
We’ll be keeping that energy going into 2026 and beyond with more sessions, workshops and ways to take keep important conversations going.
