AUKUS is a Trump-style deal
He rebels against the language of a “rules-based order” but he is happy to talk business.

Senator Jane Hume calls Australian-Chinese volunteers for the ALP "Chinese spies":
"There might be Chinese spies that are handing out for you but for us there's dozens, thousands, hundreds of young people that are out there handing out how-to-vote cards for the Liberal Party"

Interesting paper taking a deep dive into 'interoperability' and the many opportunities and challenges for Australia in SEAsia.
TL;DR it must be targeted and mission-specific given the lack of structured agreements as seen in Europe.

Great article and I-P perspective on UK intl aid cuts.
I don't suspect it will have too much impact. I-P 'tilt' was always more about hard security.
Maybe time for Aus and the UK to have more frank discussion on how to achieve their (v similar) I-P goals.
