It's FIVE days since Chinese interests were meant to have sold a combined $40m stake in a WA critical minerals company. But Treasurer Jim Chalmers' order appears to have been ignored. Australia's foreign investment regime looks toothless. nine.com.au/australia-news/c…

In answer to revelations that taxpayers forked out $196m for excess “unproductive” CFMEU staff on the Metro Tunnel project and govt’s reported instruction to builders to pay it to get it done…. Premier’s line of the day is “inflationary pressures are not corruption”.

Keir Starmer has resigned as leader of the British Labour Party, paving the way for Andy Burnham to become prime minister.

There is the distinct sense that the net is closing on Defence over its use of a hi-tech helmet with a lethal risk. A helmet used the night four airmen died.

This would probably be Albanese's favourite tool of mine. A Soviet plane inscribed "USSR", I picked up on eBay. This is a straight knock off of the famous Stanley plane. And a good reminder that Communist dictatorships have been stealing western IP since Lenin was a boy
