Australia's Ed Husic calls for AUKUS renegotiation after submarine plan change
Australia's AUKUS submarine agreement is facing renewed scrutiny after Labor backbencher Ed Husic called for the pact to be renegotiated. His comments follow weekend changes to the delivery plan, under which Australia will buy three used Virginia-class submarines rather than the earlier mix that included one new boat. The revised arrangement was announced after Defence Minister Richard Marles met US War Secretary Pete Hegseth in Singapore on Saturday.
