With NATO #CCDCOE support, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Aleksi Kajander and Maarja Naagel on a project looking at the legal requirements and tech standards for the #cybersecurity of weapon systems. Our paper is now out in OUP's Journal of Cybersecurity

I didn't always agree with Michael Leunig but I frequently found his work insightful and often just delightfully heartwarming. He will be missed.

This piece, Kindness, has always been one of my favourites. I was so pleased to get a signed and inscribed print for someone who was important to me.

We'll be freezing our hineys off in Canberra 2–4 July 2025 but the incredible ANZSIL spirit will make it worthwhile!
