A most prescient conclusion to a failure of national strategy which The Lucky Country shares with the US. This is ASCA’s central proposition. ‘We mistook comfort for strength’: Scott Bessent’s stark warning on China https://t.co/1Y1NyBiQeu

Gather Round 2026. A success made possible by the SA Liberals 2007-09 campaign to bring AFL footy back from Westlake's to the CBD. The Rann ALP Govt opposed it but later came on board. An idea which has delivered!

"The outcome we seek is for you as CDF to desist from any action founded in a presumption of guilt or designed to punish or constructively dismiss from ADF employment any soldier not proven to have done something wrong” https://t.co/udouJLE6N5
