Great to see the progress being made in AUKUS, with the Maritime Big Play emerging as an important event highlighting key efforts and driving progress forward.
Three nations, one shared mission.
The AUKUS programme is a cornerstone of defence for the 🇬🇧, 🇦🇺 & 🇺🇸.
Maritime Big Play is now underway in San Diego and will showcase how all three partner nations can integrate, coordinate and fight together across the entire maritime domain.

Sad to hear about Dolly Parton’s passing. The world will miss her creativity, wit, integrity, and incredible optimism.

The recent arrival of a UK Astute submarine in Western Australia is a major signal that AUKUS continues to move forward.
“This submarine maintenance period, known as SMP, sends a simple message of our water-tight commitment to AUKUS; sold and unwavering. It’s a top priority for the UK Government and sits at the heart of our vision for global stability and prosperity” thewest.com.au/news/wa/briti…

To me, one of the most important developments in "Justice Mission 2025" is the startling improvement in the propaganda. The PLA has fully embraced the era of AI. So, who is this aimed at? Taiwan, Japan, the US or the domestic audience? Probably all of the above.

Full steam ahead! 🇦🇺 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 💪
Today, we christened the USS UTAH (SSN 801) — the 28th Virginia-class submarine — right off the heels of the clear message this week that AUKUS is full steam ahead.
There are now 18 Navy submarines in the construction pipeline. The demand signal has never been higher, and eastern CT’s world-class shipbuilders are rising to deliver results.

Glad to see leaders from the Australian Submarine Agency engaging with the local communities surrounding areas where nuclear-powered submarines will operate. Regular engagement and transparency will be crucial to maintaining long-term support. abc.net.au/news/2025-09-19/s…

Great talking to congressional staffers alongside @KathrynPaik & @AbeDenmark about our two new @CSIS @AustraliaChair reports on #AUKUS and 🇺🇸 engagement in the Pacific.
Lots of opportunities for congressional oversight, guidance, and leadership on these issues.

We identify five questions that should drive a review of AUKUS:
1⃣ The numbers gap
2⃣ Australian sovereign concerns and allied planning
3⃣ Submarine industrial base investments
4⃣ Giving Pillar II tangible form and real capabilities
5⃣ Timeline, oversight, and shaping discourse.

It's great to see the UK sending a robust Naval capability to the Indo-Pacific, working closely with another critical American ally! This demonstrates the resilience of these relationships, and sends a strong deterrence message to our potential adversaries.
HMS Prince of Wales in Darwin. This is a deeply impressive picture. Full complement of F-35Bs plus Merlin ASW helicopters. It has taken a long time, but we got there.
