Several companies allegedly tied to the People’s Liberation Army are involved. The State-linked cyber operations highlight risks to critical infrastructure and the scale of foreign access to global communications networks. Telecommunications and transport heavily targeted.

A passenger receiving a reward flight for good work was accidentally ejected from a US F-15 while taxiing, prompting an investigation into safety procedures, and the risks of public engagement flights involving advanced combat aircraft.

The author argues that an effective Pillar II requires ongoing relaxation of export controls, a clearly defined set of objectives, greater facilitation of travel and information sharing, and targeted seed funding for research and development.

Dutch researchers exposed major vulnerabilities in police, intelligence, and military radios where secure end-to-end encryption was weakened by reduced key lengths. The flaw allows eavesdropping, spoofed messages, and misinformation risks across sensitive global Defence communications.

Little 'just in case' anxiety moments can accumulate into harmful cycles when safety behaviours, like repeated checking, provide temporary relief but reinforce worry. Recognising and resisting these urges prevents compulsion and supports emotional regulation.

Australia’s security demands urgent procurement reform—outdated processes waste time and money, delay critical capability, and risk leaving the nation vulnerable. Rapid technological change requires timely, effective, and efficient responses—not just spending.

SpaceX disclosed technical failures behind two Starship explosions, refining engineering fixes ahead of the next test launch. The case underscores risks and iterative innovation in space systems with implications for sovereign launch capabilities.

Norway’s security agency revealed that pro-Russian hackers briefly gained control of a dam’s systems, manipulating valves to release water—an act of cyber hybrid-warfare, demonstrating adversary capabilities without physical destruction.

This article explores how depression can both foster creative thinking and act as a barrier to action. The dual role suggests emotional states are nuanced and contextual, not universally negative.

The authors argue that true drone swarming—autonomous, distributed, adaptive behaviour—is not yet operational in military forces. Current systems focus on numbers, not resilient network architecture. Real swarming requires infrastructure redesign and doctrinal shifts.
