Just for a change we start with a preview of a positive article in the next edition of APDR, a chat with Glenn Keyes the co-founder of Aspen Medical. Then an extraordinary development in better understanding the selection of the Type 26 frigate for the Hunter class program – a Defence review that is scathing of the Department’s own processes. This has been submitted to the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit which, in turn, has been investigating an ANAO report into the 2018 selection process and details – among many other problems – missing crucial records. Call in the police! If it’s good enough to threaten APDR then the Department also needs further pressure. We have a few comments about the appalling level of ongoing violence in the Gaza Strip, which needs to come to an end. Some comments about nuclear powered submarines – and we conclude with questions about elephants.
