Prime Minister Anthony Albanese seems to be “not impressed” with Peter Dutton’s use of information from confidential briefings on AUKUS nuclear submarines when he was the defence minister, says Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.
Mr Clennell’s comments follow the Opposition Leader’s criticism of the British model and open support for the US Virginia Class submarines ahead of the upcoming AUKUS announcement.
He said as the former defence minister, Mr Dutton pushed to have a Virginia Class nuclear submarine in Australia by 2030, believing it was proven technology while having discussions with Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin and others.
