任由美国鱼肉
即使已经部分交货，美英有权拿回货物，但是澳洲没有权力拿回钱。
任何financial fallout只能是澳洲的，没有如果
Based on the text of the AUKUS Agreement for Cooperation in Naval Nuclear Propulsion (signed in August 2024), the terms regarding withdrawal and liability are heavily weighted toward the United States and the United Kingdom. Here is the breakdown of how the agreement handles compensation for failure to deliver or withdrawal: 1. If the US Fails to Deliver or WithdrawsThere is no compensation for Australia. The agreement contains exit clauses that allow any party, including the US and the UK, to withdraw from the deal by providing exactly one year's written notice. If the US decides that supplying the nuclear-powered submarines or the highly enriched uranium (HEU) is no longer in its national interest, it can legally walk away.
In the event of a US withdrawal: Australia is not entitled to any financial compensation or refunds for investments already made. The US and UK retain the right to demand the return or destruction of all nuclear materials, technology, and classified information that had been provided to Australia up to that point.
2. If Australia Exits or WithdrawsAustralia cannot claim compensation and assumes the financial risk. If Australia chooses to exit the agreement, there are no mechanisms to recoup the billions of dollars committed to the project. The agreement includes mutual waivers where the parties essentially waive claims against each other for compensation regarding the shared technology.
Furthermore, the treaty contains a broad indemnity clause. Because Australia is acquiring the risk associated with operating second-hand and newly built nuclear submarines, Australia is legally obligated to indemnify the US and UK. This means that if any accidents, losses, or damages occur related to the nuclear reactors or the construction of the submarines, Australia is solely liable for the costs and must protect the US and UK from any financial fallout.
Context: The French PrecedentWhen discussing AUKUS and compensation, it is often confused with the contract Australia broke to enter into the AUKUS pact in the first place. When the Australian government canceled its existing $90 billion conventional submarine contract with France's Naval Group in 2021, Australia was required to pay an $830 million AUD (€555 million) compensation settlement to the French contractor for exiting the deal. No such "off-ramp" compensation exists to protect Australia's financial interests within the current AUKUS framework.
