Anti-satellite threats undermine operational readiness. Space therefore should be a strategic priority—a formal AUKUS collaboration framework is needed to ensure future resilience, security, and sovereign capability. Australia is positioned to lead space coordination.

As air forces explore fighter-like drones, operational costs and logistics suggest simpler, runway-independent and expendable designs—used in high numbers—may provide greater capability and resilience. The U.S. Air Force plans large-scale drone acquisition.

Drones allow strategic impact without high escalation. Both countries are increasing drone use and capability —seen as effective and for deterrence—while racing to improve domestic production and reduce foreign reliance. India tripling drone investment.

Guilt can be useful—or toxic. This article explores how to process regret without letting it dominate your identity, relationships, or choices. Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting—it means growing.

Australia’s subsea cables lack updated protections. The fragmented approach to digital infrastructure risks both economic opportunity and security—unified national leadership is needed to manage cables, data centres, and connectivity across all levels.

The US Navy is testing the currently land based PAC-3 ballistic defence interceptor. This could enhance capability and resilience- the SM-6 has supply limitations. For Australia, potentially part of Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Plan.

This article refers to railways. Coordinated approaches to resilience planning can help critical networks —minimising disruptions to supply chains and communities. Resilient rail is vital for national wellbeing. Early warning systems enhance operational readiness.

In a healthy workplace all personnel interact with each other. However, if a supervisor is dismissive, a subordinate can upwards influence by showing sincerity and interest in their needs, maintaining relevant dialogue and aligning goals.

Cockatoo Island shaped national capability, resilience, innovation, and a deep connection to local and global events. Over 290 vessels were constructed including Australia’s first aircraft carrier- HMAS Albatross in 1928. Last ship, HMAS Success, launched in 1984.

Clear lessons from the conflict highlight the cost of underpreparedness—especially when strategic misjudgements (including small ones) overlook the enduring value of maritime capability, resilience and presence. Force structure must match national interests.
