Last week it was the #AustralianArmy, this week it was the #RoyalAustralianNavy ‘s turn to celebrate 125 years with an #internationalFleetReview on #SydneyHarbour on a day that went from sunshine to rain before mostly clearing. A great afternoon spent on a Lunch cruise checking it out.

Rising regional tensions and evolving threats mean the Australian Army must grow to at least 100,000 personnel. A larger, well-trained force is crucial to ensure Australia can effectively protect its sovereignty and respond to future challenges. #AustralianArmy #NationalSecurity #Defence #ADF #News

Defence stands by new handgun despite safety concerns Sig Sauer's P320 pistol has long been plagued by allegations of accidental firings without a trigger pull. The Australian Defence Force is rolling out a version of the handgun to personnel.

MARY-ANN MARTINEK knows a "damn lot" about who was involved in the murder of #SharronPhillips in #Queensland in 1986.

This email she sent me in 2020 makes a direct reference to #AustralianArmy event close to where Sharron disappeared.

Martinek knows WHO WAS THERE.
