AUKUS

[R eight]

I would think that just about every Australian knows of AUKUS. So this is a question for all the non Australians on here.

The reason I’m asking is purely out of curiosity. I’ve travelled overseas a bit this year and, without exception, no one that I spoke with has heard of it. That includes British, Canadian, European and Americans. So the question is “ do you know what AUKUS is ?”

Never heard of it, but willing to find out.

So that is what AUKUS stands for.
