Today, during question time, the Minister for Defence said that I did not support the AUKUS arrangement with the UK and the US. This is not true. Australia has a long relationship with the United Kingdom, which has enjoyed bipartisan support since federation. The alliance with the United States originated from John Curtin in 1942, when Australia turned to Labor in our hour of greatest need to defend our nation, and has been supported by Labor ever since.
