AUKUS is about Australia's interests. It's about Australia's interests. It's about what are our interests in an era that is increasingly complex and contested. It is a capability that goes to Australia's interests, and I would argue that it is a partnership in all three countries' interests. We are very clear. We make decisions in Australia's national interest, and that includes working with others. That is what AUKUS is, but that is not the sum of all that we do. Senator, you have made your views on AUKUS very clear. You are opposed to it. You are entitled to that.
