The resignation of Britain's Defence Secretary has thrown high-level talks with Australia into disarray and reignited debate about the future of the AUKUS submarine pact. John Healey quit after accusing Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government of failing to adequately fund defence, forcing the cancellation of a planned appearance with Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles. The political fallout is now being felt on both sides of the world, with critics questioning the stability of one of Australia's most ambitious defence projects.Listen to Australian and world news and follow trending topics with SBS News Podcasts.TRANSCRIPT“At six a dramatic and unexpected resignation by the defence secretary John Healey... “The shock resignation of John Healy has exposed deep divisions within the British government over defence spending.Mr Healey quit after a dispute with Prime Minister Keir Starmer over military funding, warning Britain was failing to invest enough in its armed forces at a time of growing global threats.Just hours earlier, he had been photographed jogging with Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles ahead of a planned visit to Portsmouth Naval Base.That event was later cancelled after Mr Healey's resignation.The now former Defence Secretary had been publicly defending AUKUS and Britain's commitment to the submarine partnership.“I'm not going to comment on figures - the Prime Minister knows what defence and the nation needs.” The resignation has triggered a political storm in London.Opposition Leader Kemi Badenoch says Sir Keir Starmer's government is unraveling.“Keir Starmer's premiership is falling apart, his health secretary resigned two weeks ago, his defence secretary resigned at a critical time when we are facing global threats and he is doing so because the  prime minister is trying to please his back benchers by putting money into welfare instead of defence”. The developments have also intensified scrutiny of AUKUS in Australia.Peter Garrett, who is chairing a public inquiry into the submarine pact, says the timing of the resignation highlights why the project needs closer examination.“The reason we need to have the enquiry now is there has never been a public debate or even a parliamentary debate about the biggest amount of money that Australian will ever spend in its defence history, at least up to now and the fact that Mr Marles' counterpart has disappeared overnight - I mean it's a bit of a symbol really” Mr Garrett says Australia should make its own assessment of whether the deal is in the national interest.“I think our credibility is only enhanced if we apply  our own thinking as an independent sovereign nation as to what's in our best national interest, and that's the question that we're asking about AUKUS is it ultimately in our best national interest? And other nations will respect that, if we come to that view.”    The Greens have also seized on the developments.Senator David Shoebridge says Richard Marles has been left politically exposed by turmoil among Australia's AUKUS partners.“Defence minister Marles seems committed to a process of ritual global humiliation as he does a world tour of AUKUS.  Richard Marles went to Singapore and came back with 3 second hand submarines.  He then travels off to the UK for AUKUS and is met by the resignation of the UK defence minister, literally been left standing at the altar with not a nuclear sub to be seen.  You can't make this stuff up.”       The federal government has rejected suggestions the resignation will affect the submarine deal.Cabinet minister Tim Ayres says AUKUS has deep support across Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States and will continue regardless of changes in personnel.

In history, a retreat from Singapore can have hairs all over it, but Richard Marles has turned that around, as the Grumpy Strategists unpack the events. At Singapore's Shangri-La dialogue, Mr Marles faced down an America First Pete Hegseth, meeting the Pentagon chief's fiery lethality towards allies with his own Aussie cold steel.The result is Australia's AUKUS deliverables are now 3 used US Virginia class subs sometime in the 2030s instead of the earlier stupid idea of getting a new sub as part of the deal.There's celebration in the streets here in Canberra now that our fears that we might get a new submarine of any kind sometime in the next 20 years have been laid to rest. Australia is moving towards global best practice in aged care for submarines with our Collins class fleet....now that we've cancelled their life extension program (??).....We must not let this national skill wither, but apply it instead to subs with nuclear reactors on board. Mr Marles and his colleague Pat Conroy seem to understand this intuitively in a way others don't.Marcus channels his inner Marles to show us the benefits of this 'chase for simplicity' and 'cost savings' through a standalone fleet of 3 used subs. It's a tweak to what we had previously understood was a uniquely complex and costly but deeply integrated 3 nation AUKUS program.The episode deals with Minister Marles' greatest fears. And with clown spiders, one of Michael's. It also shows the difference between an AUKUS Pillar 2 "Signature" project and the highly anticipated "Marquee" project many had expected. Hint: you can fit many signatures onto one marquee.

Even as the Trump administration facilitates the demise of the international order the United States helped create, the Australian government’s embrace of Aukus ties the two countries ever closer.

3 - All the way with the USA (and Japan) vs China, says Marles by Australian Citizens Party

¡Hola! Welcome to SBS Slow Spanish, a podcast designed in Australia specifically for those interested in learning the second most spoken language in the world. This is our weekly news flash in Spanish for 17 April 2026.

The Grumpy Strategists respond to Australia's defence minister, Richard Marles, discussing and releasing the 'new' 2026 Defence Strategy and investment plan. Marcus sees the spirit of Hiroo Onoda, second last Japanese Imperial Army soldier to surrender after World War Two - 29 years after the war ended in March 1974 alive in Mr Marles today.Like Hiroo, Mr Marles carries the flame of a world that has ended. In Hiroo Onoda's case it was faith in the Emperor and Imperial Japan's impending victory. In Mr Marles' case, it's in an America that remains the beacon of freedom, democracy and liberal values, source of global stability and anchor of the rules based international system. Both Onoda and Marles are romantics with a streak of obsession in their nature. Hiroo didn't get to determine his nation's defence policy, though.Then it's into the hard numbers of the new plan, including the combination of forensic accounting and clairvoyance needed to understand where the massive new headline Defence budget could have emerged from. The episode ends with mines and the curious case of Pete Hegseth accidentally channeling the spirit of Quentin Tarantino and a 1970s Japanese martial arts movie instead of God.....We're in good hands.

Headlines: Bowen on refinery fire: “Not good timing” Marles lays out Australia’s next defence challenges Bank data shows 45% rise in fuel spending Unemployment at 4.3% NZ Airlines introduces bunk beds Jail time for ant-smuggler Deep Dive: Fuel prices were high, and then an oil refinery caught on fire. Australia has two oil refineries and late on Wednesday night one of them sprung a leak that became a half-day fire. Energy Minister Chris Bowen said the blaze at Viva Energy Refinery in Geelong was “not great timing”. But why is Australia reliant on such fragile energy infrastructure? In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by David Leaney, a Lecturer at the ANU College of Business and Economics and expert in international supply chain management.

Marcus and Michael reflect on their wisdom in modifying the Grumpies bunker to hold thousands of litres of diesel and 8 pallets of tinned tomatoes, as the war escalates in the Middle East. They set out three scenarios for the outcome and only one of them - the least likely (spoiler, it involves rose petals and cheering crowds)- is good. Then it's on to examine the desperate contortions of US allies - notably the UK's Keir Starmer and our own PM Albanese, and ministers Marles and Wong - to avoid thinking or talking about our major ally assassinating foreign governments as a new normal. It turns out assassinating people is okay if they are 'bad guys'. And, luckily, we were kept in the dark until afterwards. Phew.

Pro-Palestine protests in Melbourne on Friday night were a display of “anti-Semitic, thuggish behaviour” and an attempt to assert primacy over Jewish Australians, the Coalition has claimed.  The opposition's defence spokesman Andrew Hastie made the claims on Sunday morning, as Defence Minister Richard Marles called for “careful language”.  Hundreds of pro-Palestinian supporters entered Caulfield, the heart of Melbourne's Jewish community, on Friday night to demonstrate after a Palestinian-owned burger shop in the suburb was destroyed by fire the night prior.  Hash Tayeh, who owns the Burgertory store, has previously attended pro-Palestine rallies, but had also spoken about his recognition of the plight of Israeli people in the wake of Hamas' October 7 attacks.  In an Instagram post on Friday, Mr Tayeh said the incident would “not deter me”.  “I am not a coward. My commitment to raising my voice for a ceasefire and peace remains unshaken,” he wrote.  While police had said they were “very confident” the blaze had not been racially or politically motivated, pro-Palestine supporters alleged it was a hate crime and called for supporters to gather on Friday night.  A clash was sparked after a nearby synagogue was evacuated and Jewish Australians began to counter protest.  It escalated into violence and the police had to break up the groups.  Organisers of the protest have apologised and claimed they did not realise there was a synagogue in close proximity.  Mr Hastie said Friday night had been “an assertion of one group over another for primacy in the public space”, and added it had undermined public safety and public order.  “The government has to lead, and they have to give clarity to the Australian people about what is acceptable and what is not acceptable behaviour,” he told Sky News.  “We can't be mealy mouthed about this. We have to be direct and clear.  “And for protesters to go into a suburb of Melbourne where we have a lot of Jewish Australians living and to impose themselves upon that group, and to do it in such an anti-social and thuggish way, is just unacceptable.”  Mr Marles said Jewish Australians had “never felt less safe” in Australia but welcomed the apology from the Free Palestine group who had organised the protest.  “What matters for those of us in positions of leadership is that we are using our voices to turn the temperature down, and that's actually how we get social cohesion and how we ensure that peace is maintained here in Australia,” he told Sky News.  “Jewish Australians have a right to feel safe, be safe in their own country – no ifs and no buts – and that standard applies to every Australian.”  Mr Marles said Australians had a right to demonstrate against what was happening in the Middle East and to put pressure on the government, but “social cohesion has to be paramount”.  “We do have to look after each other and acknowledge that other Australians are not the focus of the protest,” he said.  He said the damage caused to a Melbourne war memorial, coinciding with Remembrance Day on Saturday, was also “unacceptable”.  “People have a right to protest the issues that have been raised, and … we live in a country where there is freedom of expression … but people need to take responsibility for the way in which that is occurring,” he said.  “Defacing a war memorial does nothing to advance the cause of what's happening in Gaza. It does nothing to advance the cause of the humanitarian situation … but what it does do is add enormous stress to people seeking to commemorate a very sacred moment in our country's history.”  He said the government was remaining steadfast in its bid to “turn the temperature down”, alluding to growing calls for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza as the death toll in the Palestinian territory continues to climb.  Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong said the government had called for humanitarian pauses as a necessary first step.  “We need steps towards a ceasefire because we know that it cannot be one sided,” she told ABC's Insiders.  “Israel should do everything it can to observe international humanitarian law.  “We have seen a harrowing number of civilians, including children, killed. This has to end, and we are particularly concerned with what is happening with medical facilities.”  Mr Hastie meanwhile threw unequivocal support behind Israel.  “Hamas must be destroyed completely,” he said.  “I think Israel has shown great restraint … They've had people from across the globe calling on them for restraint and they've sent warnings to millions of people living in Gaza to evacuate … They've given the opportunity to get out of the danger zone.  “For people who say that Israel should show more restraint is I think ignoring the problem, which is that Hamas are using civilians as human shields.” - by Ellen Ransley, news.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The “Chinese spy balloon” has dominated news for the past few weeks and thus Allan and Darren feel compelled to open the episode with their views. FM Penny Wong's speech in the UK sparked controversy for her comments on colonial history, or did it? Meanwhile, a successful 2+2 with France highlighted how far the relationship has come since a low point in late 2020. DM Richard Marles spoke to parliament on the question of sovereignty and defence capabilities, while International Development Minister Pat Conroy wants to see more development specialists in leadership roles at DFAT.
