The only way to assure us that the subs WON'T carry nuclear weapons, and that AUKUS will therefore NOT breach the Rarotonga Treaty, is for Australia to become a party to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Vanuatu is requesting that.

@SenatorWong @AusHCVanuatu I am most excited about the new Government’s pledge to provide a constitutional place for indigenous Australians, and am greatly looking forward to the roll out of the First Nations foreign policy that has also been announced
