There’s a squabble among former and current Australian Labour MPs over the country's AUKUS deal. It's buying three US nuclear submarines under its new deal with the US and the UK. Former Prime Minister Paul Keating is labelling the deal the worst international decision since trying to bring in conscription. Australian correspondent Murray Olds told Heather du Plessis-Allan that Keating is arguing that China wants to be their friend. He says Keating claims that as far as China's concerned, Australia is a giant mine and grain-producing country. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
