Event: The Real Costs of AUKUS
The AUKUS agreement between Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom is set to reshape Australia’s military and strategic future through the acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines. But the implications of AUKUS extend far beyond defence, with significant consequences for Australia’s economy, diplomacy, industry, and foreign relations. As the project moves from ambition to implementation, important questions remain. Can Australia deliver an undertaking of this scale and complexity? What are the costs, risks, and strategic trade-offs involved? And if the project does not proceed according to plan, what alternatives are available? The launch of the new issue of Australian Foreign Affairs. Panel: Professor Bec Strating (Director, La Trobe Centre for Global Security) Hon Peter Khalil MP (Assistant Minister for Defence, Australia) Assoc. Professor Yee-Fui Ng (Director (Higher Degree by Research), Monash University) Dr Samuel Bashfield (Research Fellow, La Trobe Centre for Global Security) Recorded on 20th July, 2026.

US Engagement With Pacific Island Nations
The United States has, over recent years, significantly deepened its engagement with Pacific Island nations — reopening embassies, renewing funding compacts, and positioning itself as a committed partner in a region of growing strategic importance. Since the return of the Trump administration in January 2025, questions have been raised about the continuity of that commitment, and what a changed US posture means for the Pacific and for the countries that share an interest in its stability. Guest: Professor Alan Tidwell (Director of the Center for Australian, New Zealand and Pacific Studies, Georgetown University) Recorded on 28th May, 2026.

The Continued Repression of Uyghurs
An escalating crisis faces the Uyghur in China. The newly enacted Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress legalises forced assimilation, erases linguistic rights, and expands state surveillance. It provides a permanent legal framework for the ongoing campaign of mass re-education camps, long-term imprisonment, and cultural erasure of China’s minorities. Guest: Yalkun Uluyol (China Researcher, Human Rights Watch) Host: Emeritus Professor James Leibold (Asian Studies, La Trobe University) Recorded 22nd May, 2026.
