@Qantas thanks again for a rubbish trip-every flight late by over an hour-on top of that you have fed me deliberately false information about the delays -telling passengers a boarding time for a plane that won’t even arrive then - you are really kicking customer service goals atm

Nailed it - “Currently, staff see livelihoods at risk, students see disruption, and vice chancellors see balance sheets collapsing. Everyone is right, which is precisely why nobody is happy.” afr.com/work-and-caree…

When discussing drone warfare for the ADF a couple of considerations are key: The Indo-Pacific is not Ukraine The Indo-Pacific is a maritime environment defined by extreme distances - it is not a short range continental environment -

@DefenceProf Ukraine is the largest country in Europe and has run drone operations abroad and on the other eastern side of Russia. Calling it a ‘continental’ example is too reductionist. There are lot of lessons to learn here for Australia.

Buying thousands of drones now to sit on the shelf and be out of date in 3 months is not the answer Innovation, experimentation and industry development is key-investing in these parts of capability is critical Counter drone capabilities are short term investment priorities

The UK has finished its Lovegrove review, the UK parliament review is look at how to better deliver AUKUS, Australia is doing a review of the ASA and the 2023 DSR reviewed AUKUS against the risks, new strategy and capability needs
Malcolm Turnbull@TurnbullMalcolm

The UK is conducting a review of AUKUS. The US DoD is conducting a review of AUKUS. But Australia, which has the most at stake, has no review. Our Parliament to date has been the least curious and least informed. Time to wake up?

As the Pentagon launches its AUKUS review, exclusive new @LowyInstitute polling shows that a clear majority of Australians (67%) continue to favour acquiring nuclear-powered submarines. This has held firm since the deal was announced four years ago.

“Taiwan saw its highest monthly number of Chinese naval ship sightings so far this year, while naval and aircraft detections are up over previous years. Ian Ellis, founder of @iejmedia, posted an infographic showing PLAN ships were tracked 250 times in May, the most in one month since August 2024.” @TaiwanNewsEN @keverington

Blunt comments from PNG Defence Minister Billy Joseph at @ASPI_org conference - suggests PLAN circumnavigation was a reminder of "threats" facing region - PNG Australia defence treaty sends a clear "message" that "when it comes to security, we choose our traditional partners"

Interesting - Defence Minister Richard Marles announces on his visit to Maldives that Australia will gift the Indian Ocean nation a Guardian-class patrol boat. It's the first time (I think) Australia has handed one of these patrol boats to a nation outside the Pacific
