About this episode
It's the biggest deal in Australian military history, the $368 billion AUKUS alliance between Australia, the US and the UK, but this week, the government announced the deal is changing.
Australia is no longer going to get a brand-new submarine — instead, we'll get three second-hand subs. So, does it matter? And does AUKUS still stack up? We speak to Peter Garrett who's leading a crowd-funded inquiry into the deal.
Plus, meet mates Fletcher Crowley and Lachie Bennett. They've blown up on socials with hundreds of thousands of people watching them travel the world, pushing the boundaries of what's wheelchair accessible.
