There has been no word about Australian submarine funding cuts due to COVID-19 spending (yet).
Publicity about such funding cuts may only be generated in Senate Estimates hearings in the Australian Federal Parliament in October 2020.
"October 2020" because Australia's 2020-21 Federal Budget has been delayed from the usual month (May 2020) to October 6, 2020 due to unprecedented COVID-19 spending and the social distancing restrictions on convening Parliament.
The precise Senate Estimates Committee would be "Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade" and the most likely Senator to question the submarine budget is former submariner Senator for South Australia, Rex Patrick. See broader details here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex_Patrick
