堪培拉——民调显示，澳大利亚人并不信服放弃购买核动力潜艇的计划是正确的做法，但对该协议成本和保密性的怀疑仍可能伤害工党政府，特别是在国家首都。
CANBERRA — Polling suggests Australians aren’t convinced abandoning plans to acquire nuclear-powered submarines is the right course, but skepticism about the cost and secrecy of the deal could still hurt the Labor government in the national capital.
Bean选区热门独立候选人杰西·普赖斯呼吁暂停AUKUS协议，为对澳英美三边伙伴关系进行皇家委员会调查让路，该伙伴关系预计在30年内耗资3680亿澳元。
Jessie Price, a popular independent candidate for the Canberra electorate of Bean, has called for AUKUS to be paused to make way for a royal commission into the Australia, U.K. and U.S. trilateral partnership, which is expected to cost AU$368 billion over 30 years.
自2019年选区设立以来，Bean选区一直由工党议员大卫·史密斯把持，但在2025年大选中，他仅以700票的微弱优势击败普赖斯保住了席位。她将角逐下届大选——最晚于2028年5月举行——希望以此为基础，借助2022年澳大利亚首都领地参议员大卫·波科克当选所提升的社区独立人士声势进一步发展。
Bean has been held by Labor MP David Smith since its creation in 2019, but he only retained it by a margin of 700 votes over Price at the 2025 election.

David Pocock in 2022.
