Shadow Foreign Minister Simon Birmingham says the Labor Party could “never” have been able to initiate the AUKUS deal.
“Ultimately, the government managed to continue to stand by a policy that is integral to Australia’s defence and national security future and that’s as it should be,” he told Sky News Australia.
“But what the divisions demonstrated first and foremost, was that Labor could have never initiated AUKUS.
“Anybody who thinks that a Labor government could have done as the Liberal-National-lead government did and initiate the AUKUS pact, is dreaming because clearly the deep divisions would have seen them think ‘this is impossible for us to do and to keep the country – or our party … united.”

Is 56:1, 6-7
Thus says the LORD:
Observe what is right, do what is just;
for my salvation is about to come,
my justice, about to be revealed.
The foreigners who join themselves to the LORD,
ministering to him,
loving the name of the LORD,
and becoming his servants—
all who keep the sabbath free from profanation
and hold to my covenant,
them I will bring to my holy mountain
and make joyful in my house of prayer;
their burnt offerings and sacrifices
will be acceptable on my altar,
for my house shall be called
a house of prayer for all peoples.
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8
R. (4) O God, let all the nations praise you!
May God have pity on us and bless us;
may he let his face shine upon us.
So may your way be known upon earth;
among all nations, your salvation.
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!
May the nations be glad and exult
because you rule the peoples in equity;
the nations on the earth you guide.
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!
May the peoples praise you, O God;
may all the peoples praise you!
May God bless us,
and may all the ends of the earth fear him!
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!

Rom 11:13-15, 29-32
Brothers and sisters:
I am speaking to you Gentiles.
Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles,
I glory in my ministry in order to make my race jealous
and thus save some of them.
For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world,
what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.
Just as you once disobeyed God
but have now received mercy because of their disobedience,
so they have now disobeyed in order that,
by virtue of the mercy shown to you,
they too may now receive mercy.
For God delivered all to disobedience,
that he might have mercy upon all.
Alleluia
Cf. Mt 4:23
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Jesus proclaimed the Gospel of the kingdom
and cured every disease among the people.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel
Mt 15:21-28
At that time, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out,
"Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David!
My daughter is tormented by a demon."
But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her.
Jesus' disciples came and asked him,
"Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us."
He said in reply,
"I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
But the woman came and did Jesus homage, saying, "Lord, help me."
He said in reply,
"It is not right to take the food of the children
and throw it to the dogs."
She said, "Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps
that fall from the table of their masters."
Then Jesus said to her in reply,
"O woman, great is your faith!
Let it be done for you as you wish."
And the woman's daughter was healed from that hour.

15 months of the Robodebt right wing Noalition party riding the taxpayer funded gravy train and have accomplished nothing whatsoever for Australia 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸
Only racists vote yes to the voice. We must vote NO to division and NO to the voice
Trumpo 🤡would never had initiated… President Biden did… not the LNP who had already signed the contract with France.
AUKUS is an expensive means to warmonger China.
AUKUS has nothing to do with defending Australia.
AUKUS is all about dominating China and also liberating Taiwan from their wealth, of course.
Same thing everywhere the IMF/NED meddles, in fact.
Australia couldn't defend its way out of a wet paper bag and it always will be a Sitting duck. Lol 🎯🦆
We know who to blame then.
Birmingham doesn't have any facts to present on this topic.
It's all just opinions.
How is this real life?
Yeah, the Libs are great. $835 million payout to France for cancelling a contract for submarines and committing to spending $300 BILLION on nuclear submarines. Yeah, Australia needs nuclear submarines.
From the Department of Defence website:
The first Australian submarine will be delivered in the early 2040s from Osborne.
Subsequent Australian submarines will roll off the Osborne production line at a three-yearly drumbeat.
Does that sound good to anyone?
This league of shadows minister can't be trusted just look at what happened to good old batman.
And if France were on board it would have been spelled FAUKUS?
Biggest rip off ever it’s on par with net zero thanks labour for your incompetent government…
Labor are unable to organise a p1ssup in a brewery to be honest.
I want a small modular 20kw nuclear reactor at my house please. I will have it serviced by Nuclear Physicists. Of which AU has plenty of.
3 subs for 385 billion.. bawawaa
And to protect all of Australia.. bawawaa
Could of brought thousands of fighter jets and defence systems
These bloody useless subs will cost the Australian tax payers $360 billion dollars 😂
Who in their right mind actually believes this deal will go ahead with a US President who,hasn’t got a mind, and Australian Prime Minister whose a legend in his own mind and a Brit Prime Minister not of a sound mine, just asking😂
Have peter dutton slagging off china to appease mike pompeo didnt help.
Well I'd rather not be handing money to the American military industrial complex
I think the people's republic should hand those in its own for that which all call crime even to there own intelligence and the respect for law No Russia but the sport star WTH Com On Man?????. The crime for organs and life for a medical cut proves shame…😢…
LNP delivered invisible French subs before getting the tap on the shoulder from big daddy. . . . .
This is about propping up the perverted and crumbling UK & US power axis. It’s also about us becoming a staging area for THEIR war against our biggest trading partner.
Its very Obvious They CANT Run a Country.
Get real Birmy, the Libs don't need a wet woke like you in the Party. Is this all you can come up with to show Labor and their incompetence up?
do sky get paid for promoting aukus? is there a bigger advocate out there?
China doesn't need to attack Australia to bring it totally to its knees. All China needs to do is cut of all its imports and exports into/out of Australia and we will grind to a complete halt.
The idea of spending BILLIONS on a couple of nuclear submarines to arrive in decades from now, while at the same time becoming virtually 100% dependent on China for manufactured goods is a total farce.
If we want to improve our security in an uncertain world, start by becoming as self sufficient as possible. And that means using our near endless gas, coal, and uranium resources to our advantage.
