‘We don’t discuss hypotheticals,’ Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy said.

A top US defence official has asked Australian policymakers whether they will back Taiwan in the event of a conflict.

The Albanese government said they would not ‘pluck a figure out of the air and work out how to spend it.’

Australia’s foreign minister has met the US secretary of state during the recent QUAD meeting.

Roger Cook has headed to the UK, rather than the US, to help ensure the agreement survives a Pentagon review.

‘Establishing a Pillar III would ensure that space, the ultimate high ground, is secured by free nations, not our enemies,’ said Scott Morrison.

China’s nuclear warheads have grown to at least 600.

The two sides discussed trade, tariffs, and Australia’s critical minerals and rare earth minerals.

The AUKUS trilateral defence deal is under review and adds to a growing list of priorities for the Albanese government to deal with.

Australia’s Defence Minister Richard Marles says he is confident AUKUS will still go ahead.

US Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth called on Australia to increase defence spending ‘as soon as possible.’

Trump and Albanese had a personal phone call, where the US president was ’very generous in his personal warmth and praise.’

Both leaders have pledged to visit the US if they win the election.

While promoted by the government as a major investment—and on target to meet US expectations—in real terms, Australia’s defence budget is barely sufficient.

‘The question now ... is to work out how they [DOGE] can streamline and better produce the submarines,’ said former Ambassador Arthur Sinodinos.

An Australian monarchist group has labelled a move to remove the monarch from the $5 note as ‘neo-communism.’

United Airlines will operate the flight route three times a week between San Francisco and Adelaide.

Trump imposed a 10 percent baseline tariff on trading partners and bigger reciprocal tariffs on China, the European Union, and multiple other nations.

The wide ranging tariffs are expected to be announced April 2.

Guided weapons manufacturing, an AUKUS submarine base, and a frigate program are among the initiatives set to be announced by Richard Marles during the budget.
