Nailed it -

The UK has finished its Lovegrove review, the UK parliament review is look at how to better deliver AUKUS, Australia is doing a review of the ASA and the 2023 DSR reviewed AUKUS against the risks, new strategy and capability needs
Timely and interesting data
As the Pentagon launches its AUKUS review, exclusive new @LowyInstitute polling shows that a clear majority of Australians (67%) continue to favour acquiring nuclear-powered submarines. This has held firm since the deal was announced four years ago.
