Proud day ☺️ Just seen the hard copy of my first published book chapter in "Blue Security". @BlueSecProgram @NSC_ANU

[Jennifer Parker @JAParker29]

Are we really comfortable with our politicians ridiculing serving military officers because they disagree with the government policy those officers have been tasked to implement?

Disagree with capabilities, processes, outcomes or even strategy… but ridiculing someone who has spent their adult life serving this country is beneath the standard we should expect from our elected representatives.

It’s childish.

Why am I calling this out? Because the standard you walk past is the standard you accept. We should not accept this from our elected representatives, regardless of political party.

(AFP) CANBERRA — Australia and Vanuatu signed a sweeping economic and security agreement on Monday that bars any foreign military base on the Pacific island.

[Senator Raff Ciccone @SenRaffCiccone]

Almost all of Australia's trade travels by sea. Our fuel, food, pharmaceuticals and essentials depend on secure maritime access. That's not a detail, it's an existential vulnerability.

Anyone who dismisses protecting Australia's maritime trade isn't just unserious about national security. They're negligent.

AUKUS and our commitment to nuclear-powered submarines is how we protect that.

Grateful to @ASPI_org's The Strategist for covering my Senate speech. You can read it here:

Look what I found while racing down to get a salad for lunch the other day— @BundabergDrinks brewed sparkling fruit drinks, one of my favourite #Aussie made soft #drinks!! #DYK Their brewery, #Bundaberg, is four hours north of #Brisbane. Who’s been there?

From the @nytimes interview with @AlboMP, some long-overdue robust language on China and Beijing's intentions.

[Jennifer Parker @JAParker29]

Umm…what an utterly ridiculous tweet & premise. Here’s the question, here’s the answer 👇. It may change in the future, but let’s not try and play with facts because it doesn’t support your narrative. Also why does the Director (& Deputy Director) of the 🇦🇺🇨🇳 Relations institute care so much about what subs 🇦🇺 operates? 🤷‍♀️

#澳洲、#台灣 與 #美國 在本週攜手舉辦一場「關鍵礦物對話」論壇，促進三方 #產業 和 #學術界 進行務實的交流。在 #關鍵礦物 領域，我們各自發揮優勢、相互截長補短，也代表著未來有更多 #合作 的機會。澳洲擁有豐富的關鍵礦物 #資源，我們歡迎更多 #投資 挹注。

PM&C dep sec Nadine Williams is interim National Armaments Director. The govt is yet to find a suitable candidate to fill the role permanently. The new Defence Delivery Agency starts July 1, but doesn't become a separate entity from Defence until July 1, 2027.

Keep an eye out for a new @NSC_ANU podcast out this week talking #AUKUS with these two legends.

New Zealand undefeated for 16th consecutive year in @LowyInstitute poll of Australians’ feeling towards the world. 🥰 🇳🇿🇦🇺

[Justin Burke @justinburke]

Support for nuclear-powered subs hold firm. Almost seven in ten Australians (68%) say they are either ‘strongly in favour’ or ‘somewhat in favour’. Only 29% of Australians say they are either ‘somewhat against’ or ‘strongly against’, a three-point drop from last year.
