Ex-Australian prime minister Paul Keating condemned the centre-left Labor government's deal with the US and UK to obtain nuclear submarines, saying the nation's military sovereignty was being surrendered to the 'whim and caprice' of Washington. A former Labor party leader, Keating served as prime minister from 1991 to 1996, during which he sought to loosen Australia's bonds with the UK - by calling for a republic - and deepen ties with Asia. The Aukus deal announced in San Diego Monday (March 13) is the 'worst international decision' by a Labor government since efforts to introduce conscription during World War I, he said.
