- Abstract
The article discusses the Australian government's secretive arrangements with the US and UK under the AUKUS agreement. It reveals that Western Australia will host a site for low-level radioactive waste produced by US and UK submarines, and that the US will be deploying around 700 personnel, along with their families, to the state. The article also highlights Australia's failure to establish a long-term storage facility for nuclear waste and raises concerns about the potential storage of high-level nuclear waste in the future. Additionally, it mentions Australia's financial commitment to the US submarine industrial base.
