By the standards of Defence a $1.8 million 12-month contract with Deloitte is just a blip but it’s illustrative of money being sprayed around.

We also have a quick look at AIR 6500 – and maybe what the DSR had in mind was something completely different from what I originally thought. Maybe the hint they are giving is to look at expanding LAND 19 Phase 7 and adding on the David’s Sling missile from Israel.

We have a look at some false claims and exaggerations from Defence and ask can’t we do better when it comes to the local manufacture of guided weapons.

Finally – who invented the printing press? You might be very surprised by the answer – and it has implications for improving Australia’s security.
