New details on the Australians that were on the US submarine that sunk the Iranian frigate. Defence is claiming they were not in their bunks as previously thought, but where "assigned to damage control activity."

What happens when every Fed department is responsible for AI data centres but none of them actually is? At Estimates we found out: foreign multinationals make commercial decisions, states rip up their planning laws, and the water and energy consequences are someone else's problem
The Albanese Labor Government has just given the Federal police $200 million, as part of the new 'AUKUS Command' force. Today we learnt this is solely to protect US and UK submarines. Australians paying for the protection of the US military, that's AUKUS.
Labor are slashing veterans' healthcare and putting a cap on services in this budget. This Government is cutting healthcare across the community, it must stop.
BREAKING Its not just the US and UAE, Australia also providing 'defensive' military support to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar. The Albanese Labor Government cannot pretend we are not involved Trump and Netanyahu's war of choice when we up to our neck in it.
On tranche 2 privacy reform: Corporate Australia is hoovering up your biometric data and they can because we have last-century privacy laws in this country. Labor's response is that at some unspecified point in the future, they'll consult on legislation they haven't written yet..
Defence knew in October 2025 that the LOTE project on the Collins Class submarines was in crisis. When I ask back then if the $11 billion project was on track, they said there was "no change to the program of record". The LOTE program has now been massively de-scoped with a scathing audit.
At Estimates Defence confirmed it on the record that the Palantir software Defence is paying $14.4 million for is the same suite of products used in Gaza, Lebanon, and the US attack on Iran. I then asked if anyone ran an ethics check. See what happens next.
Trump has just told Albanese that he is not giving Australia any new submarines under AUKUS. I asked Defence how this can still be the 'optimal pathway'. The response is... interesting.
Thirteen hundred of you took the time to complain to the NACC about their appalling mismanagement of the Robodebt referral. This is how the Commissioner talks about those complaints. How utterly shameful.

Fireworks exploding over the Mediterranean... celebrating a doctor from 1,700 years ago. Just witnessed Ravello's Festival of St. Pantaleone, an entire town honouring a physician-martyr while our junior doctors strike for basic recognition. Running a healthcare agency, the irony wasn't lost on me.
