Senator SHOEBRIDGE (New South Wales) (14:20): Minister, it's clear that your government's commitment to AUKUS has denied our country the ability to make independent foreign policy decisions. The Canadian Prime Minister asked today: 'Will middle powers come together to stand up for collective values, or will we let the hegemons dictate outcomes?' Minister, will your government let the US decide our policy, or will you cancel AUKUS? An honourable senator interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I'm waiting to call the minister, and there needs to be silence.
