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…

It's not regime change unless it comes from the regime change region of France. Otherwise, it's just sparkling decapitation strikes without a strategic endgame.

🧵Pentagon launches review into AUKUS deal to ensure it meets Trump's '🇺🇸First' agenda | Much will be made of this today in 🇦🇺, the #AUKUS deal has always been complex with key risks. But there is a lot in this deal for 🇺🇸 1/ abc.net.au/news/2025-06-1…


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

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?



Timely and interesting data

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.

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
