Opposition leader Anthony Albanese says Prime Minister Scott Morrison 'broke the faith and trust' of the US government by delaying briefing Labor on the AUKUS defence deal ausvotes auspoll2022
He said Labor "shares concerns about the presence of an intelligence ship off the coast of Western Australia from the Chinese government," before switching to a discussion about the AUKUS report.
"If the US had conditioned the AUKUS agreement on there being a briefing for the Australian Labor Party, then clearly the deal would haven't gone ahead. So the US didn't condition that, and I think Mr Albanese frankly owes the Australian public an apology because he's misled the public today." Fronting media in the Melbourne electorate of Deakin on Saturday, held by the Liberals on a 4.8 per cent margin, Mr Morrison said the COVID-19 pandemic was a time for his government to "be in the gear of pushing through".
"Over the course of this campaign, it has been the opportunity to do that; which, frankly, over the course of the last two years, we have all been locked up in Canberra."
