✍️ A new secretive committee in Australian parliament will scrutinize the country's defense force and military conflicts, with a makeup that excludes minor parties and independents.
👉 The committee will scrutinize the Australian defense force, defense department, veterans' affairs, and other areas of government working on the Aukus agreement. 👉 The committee's work will be conducted in secret, except when public hearings are authorized by the defense minister. 👉 The makeup of the committee will be determined by the Labor government, with a maximum of seven government MPs and six non-government members. 👉 The Greens and minor parties have criticized the plan, calling it a 'closed shop' that excludes diverse voices.
