Business as usual: Labor stalls on Defence reform as AUKUS woes grow
Defence spending is lagging, AUKUS is stalling, and systemic mismanagement persists as Labor avoids hard structural reform.

New in PN: Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud
"With nothing to show for its efforts to find actual fraud, it has become clear that DOGE is the enforcement arm of a Trump administration that has no interest in working with Congress to implement its policy priorities."

A lone Leopard 2A4 of the Ukrainian 33rd Brigade at the front near Kurakhove obliterated a Russian armored column made up by tanks, BMPs and truck. In some cases you can see how the impacts trigger ammunition inside the Russian vehicles, certainly incinerating the crews inside.

Cancel AUKUS. It compromises our sovereignty. The subs are not going to arrive. There’s no waste solution. It sucks millions from the things we actually need - and can be delivered: essential health, dental, well funded public schools, early childhood education and care.
AUKUS will cost $375 billion.
That is a crazy amount of money. If the Govt. was to pay $1 million every day, it would take over 1000 years to get $375 billion.
Think of all the things that need $1 million: your local school or hospital. The government decided to spend it on nuclear subs instead.
