The plan to sell Victoria Barracks, Sydney, could compromise counter terrorism operations in Sydney, a Senate inquiry has been told.
Former Chief of Army, retired Lieutenant‑General Ken Gillespie, delivered a strong critique of the proposal to sell the base – one of 67 military sites up for divestment to raise almost $2 billion.
“I don’t believe it was military decision‑making,” he said, as a Senate inquiry into the management of the Defence estate sat in Melbourne on Monday.
“I think it was bureaucratic decision‑making based on budget pressures and the ability to try and bring money into the defence portfolio.
“The point that I’m really concerned about is that Victoria Barracks has been for many years at the heart of our planned domestic response … around potential terrorism and security issues in the heart of the Sydney CBD and along the harbour.
“The disposal of Victoria Barracks hasn’t been thought through and there are major strategic implications of losing the barracks that haven’t been addressed or answered in any of the responses we’ve seen to date.”

However, Natalie Barr showed no concession or fear in the face of opposing opinions or demands to sack her

🚨IRANIAN DRONES COULD BE IN #CUBA!
Iranian drones, particularly the widely used Shahed-136 suicide drone, typically boast ranges of 1,000–2,500 km (620–1,550 miles) with payloads of 30–50 kg (66–110 lbs) of explosives.
These low-cost, long-range systems often use satellite navigation, fly at lower speeds (approx 185 km/h or 115 mph) to evade radar, and are used for kamikaze strikes or intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.

🇺🇦💪🧐Ukraine has just made a statement that shocked the world regarding nuclear weapons.
“Ukraine possesses all the necessary technologies and materials to create nuclear weapons. We did not want to go down this path, but if Russia does not withdraw its troops from our territory, we will be forced to use this option.”
After years of war, millions of victims, destroyed cities, and constant nuclear threats from Russia, Ukraine has officially stated that it has the technical capability to develop its own nuclear weapons.
What do you think — does Ukraine need nuclear weapons?
