Vale Jeffrey Archer. If you were one of his millions of fans you'll enjoy this clip of him reading a short story and dabbling with technology. It will stay with me. youtu.be/naICnwwvDPg?si=pn9S…

Breaking. Big news for Aussie defence firm C2 Robotics delivering its first large Uncrewed Undersea Vehicle (LUUV) to the United States. The ADF is also looking to acquire Speartooth with its body able to be filled with supplies and explosives. @SkyNewsAust

Spotted! An unusual visitor to Brisbane, HMS Tamar. An offshore patrol vessel that’s significantly larger than ours. It’s been in the Indo Pacific since 2021. The crew is going to enjoy some R&R. And maybe a game of @BBL @RoyalNavy

A scamper and we caught HMS Tamar docking before the honour guard formed up. She’s in Brisbane to escape cyclonic weather in Queensland’s north. Noting the clear interest here, so I’ll post more below. @RoyalNavy

And what appears to be breaking news. I’m hearing the Australian government has chosen the Japanese Mogami class frigate over the German TKMS rival, elevating Australia and Japanese relations to an unprecedented level of cooperation. 11 frigates. 3 built overseas.

Saw the @SkyNewsAust doc on #AUKUS last night. Excellent work by all concerned. Important journalism in our country’s national interest. @JonathanLea10 was very good. Highly recommend

Struggling Labor Premier, Steven Miles claims there have been no discussions about campaigning with @AlboMP. Asked if the Labor PM would campaign with the Labor Premier and minister this election, Mr Miles answered, "We haven't discussed that ..."

#unfiltered and now unshackled. Looking forward to bringing you this Senator’s take on things. Newly Independent Senator Fatima Payman tells me in Perth ahead of her return to Canberra, the #labor party she campaigned for wasn’t the one she found herself fighting against. And the final words spoken in her showdown with @AlboMP #auspol @skynews

Robust piece in the Aus. (Originally from the WSJ) on why the Democrats shouldn’t be allowed to sub out Biden. Was a lie exposed on national tv?

Remember. The Coalition's nuclear push succeeds only as long as it holds onto power. Future Labor govt will likely unwind its strategy, the same as the Coalition seeks to unwind Labor's renewables push. Nuclear requires 10+ of LNP gov Is this a strength or weakness of democracy?

The Coalition's nuclear power plan unequivocally asks the nation to embrace a boldness not seen since the introduction of the GST, in an era dominated by small targets. We now have a true point of difference between the two parties. Will voters accept nuclear power, or reject it?

💥 Question 💥 Walsh is 1.77m - Sua'ali'i 1.96m. At the moment of impact Walsh is standing say 1.45 - he’s dropped about 30cm. Tackler has to look away before contact. Is it time to debate whether the runner most also present a legitimate height and target? #origin

No criticism of officials, but how does a 2m tall player tackle someone who has dipped this low - at full speed - without inadvertently contacting the head? Wouldn't a "ball-and-all" tackle still smother Walsh's face?
