按照现在澳洲大约1.6万亿的债务情况看,等付大头的时候不知道会不会破产 每年收的税都不够付利息的吧。。
Australia has paid and spent roughly AUD 2–3 billion on AUKUS so far (as at 2025–early 2026), with the clearest, fully confirmed cash payments being about AUD 1.6 billion to the United States.
The rest is domestic program spending (agency setup, workforce, studies, early infrastructure, regulation), which is harder to pin to a single invoice but is visible in Defence and Australian Submarine Agency (ASA) budgets.
What has definitely been paid (hard cash)
Payments to the United States (industrial base)
Australia has made two confirmed lump‑sum payments to the US to expand submarine shipyard capacity:

These payments are part of Australia’s commitment (up to ~AUD 4–5 bn over several years) to ensure the US can actually build extra Virginia‑class submarines for both navies.
What has been spent domestically (Australia)
In addition to the US payments, Australia has already spent hundreds of millions domestically on AUKUS-related work, including:
Australian Submarine Agency (ASA) operations and staffing
Naval nuclear regulator establishment
Workforce training (US/UK placements)
Design, planning, enabling works, studies
Early base and shipyard preparation
From Defence budget papers and independent budget analysis, AUKUS/SSN‑related funding in the mid‑2020s is running at roughly AUD 0.7–1.5 bn cumulatively to date, before major construction begins.
Examples:
Defence and ASA budgets show ~AUD 2.4 bn allocated for SSN/AUKUS programs in 2025 alone, but not all of that was spent before year‑end

ASPI and budget analyses confirm that serious spending only ramps up from the late 2020s; early years are comparatively small
[aspi.org.au]
✅ Best current estimate (paid/spent so far)
Putting confirmed cash payments + conservative domestic spend together:
Lower bound (confirmed):
???? ~AUD 1.6 billion (payments to the US only)
More realistic total to date:
???? ~AUD 2–3 billion (including Australian program costs)
This is <1% of the AUD 268–368 billion projected lifetime cost.
Why the number looks “small” so far
No submarines have been purchased yet
No reactor or hull construction has started
Most costs come after 2030, especially 2035–2055
Current spending is mainly enablers, not hardware |
