@Dr_M_Davis @JohnBlaxland1 @DeptDefence @AustralianArmy Select one of the standard replies; (a) out of scope (b) too complex (c) not in the user requirement (d) too risky, or my personal favourite (e) will be fixed in sustainment 🙄

It's almost like there should be like some type of 'Fundamental Inputs to Capability'. Good thread 👇

During this war, there's been calls for the US to give UKR more _____________ (fill in the blank with M1 Abrams tanks, Patriot Missile Systems, F16s, A10s, etc).

Those calls often come from politicians, reporters, or those with little knowledge of weapons.

Took @PatsKarvelas advice from #Insiders this morning. Thanks @LifelineAust for all your great work 🙏

[Ari Sharp @arisharp]

Big culture clash between Convoy to Canberra mob and the Canberra locals - one group reckons the federal government is part of a giant conspiracy and the other knows it could never be that organised.

There is high saturation of augmented reality capability in 🇦🇺. An open & transparent call could have provided greater value for money & ultimately delivered a better product to the warfighter than $5.13m sole source contract. Hoping @mattkeogh will do better post-May...

Defence Innovation Hub should NOT be used as venture capital.
Where is the #innovation when this capability is already COTS? Why does the CUSTOMER need to pay for further development?
If this was a gap for #Ausnavy then let..industry..know. As a min advertise a special notice
