Question Time
Question from Zoe Daniel
The member asked about the government's plan B for the AUKUS submarine deal, given concerns about the Australia-US relationship under the Trump administration and reports that submarines may never be delivered.
Background: The member for Goldstein raised concerns about the stability of the Australia-US relationship under the Trump administration and the viability of the AUKUS submarine deal, citing US Congressional Budget Office warnings.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated his plan was to implement the AUKUS arrangements as they were in the national interest for Australia to have the best defence assets. He argued that nuclear-powered submarines offered superior stealth and range capabilities. He highlighted Pillar II of AUKUS, which supports advanced manufacturing and innovation, citing the National Reconstruction Fund and companies like Austal. He noted overwhelming support for AUKUS from US congresspeople and senators, and confirmed that President Trump and UK Prime Minister Starmer had expressed support for the arrangements.
Question from Zoe Daniel
The member asked for an update on the investigation into the deaths of Holly Morton-Bowles and Bianca Jones in Laos and measures to protect young travellers.
Background: An independent member asked the Deputy Prime Minister about the investigation into the deaths of two Australian women in Laos after consuming bootleg alcohol.
Answer from Richard Marles
The Deputy Prime Minister stated that the Australian Federal Police had offered assistance to Laos authorities, but this offer had not yet been accepted. He confirmed that the Minister for Foreign Affairs had spoken to her counterpart in Laos, urging a thorough investigation. He assured the families that the government remained in contact with Laos authorities and would continue to press for accountability.
