The Philippines is committed to peace and upholding international law. We are not trying to provoke anyone but are simply defending our rights and territory as recognized by international law, like UNCLOS. Accusing us of causing trouble is unfair and no basis; we're just standing up for what is right.

Which our PM has now done. The Chinese Ambassador has compelled him to break a diplomatic silence and rightly reiterate Australia’s accusation against the Chinese navy. This is hardly conducive to the ‘stabilisation plus’ agenda Beijing is advocating - so an own goal

If the Chinese Ambassador is trying to improve relations with Australia, then falsely blaming Japan like this is clumsy and counterproductive - it now requires the Australian Government to reaffirm, on the record, that a Chinese warship was at fault abc.net.au/news/2024-01-17/b…

An update on the Australian Taipan. On this issue, the Australian government is doing a world class job in being non-transparent and obfuscating the issue - and wasting an asset that every other user seems to be employing as designed.

Not sure that Ben Roberts-Smith's commanding officer was the right person to book for this interview...

Years ago, when I asked Langford about his presence in this photo and any corrective actions he took, he mumbled something about protected identity status and said that only CDF was authorized to speak about these matters. Perhaps he should answer those questions first...

We can learn how quickly such a national organisation can be rendered useless by dogma-obsessed politicians. The US CDC's utter failure at the start of COVID is a case in point. Australia's State-based system could not be controlled and embarrassed politicians into action.
I guess that's why an Aus CDC is so desired by ... politicians.

It’s not the perfect weapon, but comparing alternatives and making practical chiices is better than seeking unobtainium, as seems our habit.

The F-35 comparison is misleading. Benchmark is to get below the very demanding B-2 regime. NG touts B-21 as a daily flyer & the various measures including portable runway shelters underscore the aircraft is very unlikely to match F-35, designed for naval use & open storage.

Your scepticism about advice to government and decision making is very rational: the article gets into that, using recent disclosures on the Hunter frigate process.

The annual Lowy Institute Poll is the best data on Australian views toward other countries.
61% trust the US, compared with 15% that trust China and 85% that trust Japan.
59% confident in Biden vs 9% confident in Xi.
We’re very pro Japan, NZ, & UK.
