Scott Morrison was prime minister when Australia fell into serious trade and political disputes with China, signed the AUKUS security pact which will deliver his country nuclear-powered submarines and revived the Quad security partnership with the US, Japan and India. These developments have serious, ongoing ramifications for the Indo-Pacific region. Morrison explains his thinking and the strategic challenges and objectives that led his government to the historic and regionally controversial AUKUS deal.

 

Scott Morrison was 30th Prime Minister of Australia, from 2018 until 2022, when his Liberal Party lost office at the national election. Morrison had previously served as Treasurer, Minister for Social Security and Minister for Immigration and Border Protection.
