Why do we need nuclear submarines? - a podcast by triple j

Australia has announced the most significant change in its defence and strategic direction in decades - a plan to team up with the US and UK to build nuclear-powered submarines.

It’s all in a bid to protect us from threats in the Indo-Pacific, but we may have pissed off France in the process.

Plus, if you’re feeling a bit frustrated by a vaccine hesitant friend or family member, don’t fret. Armed with the right information and tone, you can actually have really productive conversations around getting vaxxed.

Live guests:
Sam Roggeveen, Director of the Lowy Institute’s International Security Program
Margie Danchin, Associate Professor from the University of Melbourne
