Australia quietly pays US another $800 million for AUKUS despite review
The second payment, made in the second quarter of this year, takes Australia’s contribution to the US industrial base to $1.6 billion with no guarantee AUKUS will continue.

The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

So we’re signed up for AUKUS with a country that openly defies/denies international law.
That could take our defence forces to some even darker places.

Dutton steals Albanese oxygen, even in a week of good news

We still don't know who the elected Teals (socially progressive, economically conservative) will support for PM in a hung parliament: Albanese or Dutton. Let's hope we can get some clarity by the time the election is called.
