The Minister for Foreign Affairs will be interested to know I did, of course, read her National Press Club address. Prior to the election the Prime Minister stated national security is above politics and that this would be a government which delivers on its commitments and brings the country together as a key element of ensuring a stronger and safer Australia. With over 40 Labor branches openly revolting against the AUKUS agreement, isn't it clear that the Prime Minister is failing even to bring his own party together to support Australia's most significant national security commitment since the ANZUS treaty?
