More than a year ago, I speculated here about a connection between the forthcoming Boeing F-47, a modest technology demonstration program from the 1990s and a little-remembered pioneer of stealth. A set of images of ...

The Trump administration and AI giant Anthropic are at it again. In the latest stoush, the administration claims that security risks in the company’s new models have forced Washington to apply export controls, banning their ...

In Australia, women are only 17 percent of the cybersecurity workforce. This long-standing imbalance is a major thorn in the side of the industry and has created a critical gap in digital protection. With AI-driven threats on ...

The national intelligence community (NIC) has spent the past quarter-century building effective collection, processing and analytic capability. But if intelligence arrives in the wrong form, at the wrong speed or in a way poorly matched ...

Two recent events have exposed the reality that access to critical systems is not governed by markets or partnerships, but by sovereign authority. These events – the United States’ forced withdrawal of Anthropic’s Claude Fable ...

For a decade, the argument about technological sovereignty has turned on where data is stored. The more important question was always who controlled the system and who could switch it off. Australia has met that ...

Australia’s economic security debate still focuses on the physical elements of supply chains: mines, ports, processing plants, shipping routes and stockpiles. Beijing has moved further. China increasingly treats knowledge about supply chains as a strategic ...

Zambia’s abrupt decision to postpone RightsCon, an annual summit on human rights in the digital age, shocked organisers and those who planned to attend. The summit’s organiser, New York-based advocacy group Access Now, says the ...

U Thant’s rise to become UN secretary-general, the world’s top diplomat, was, to say the least, unlikely. Thant grew up in a small town in what was then rural Burma, at the time part of ...

Australia’s prosperity runs on systems that look permanent but depend on inputs arriving from beyond its shores. While the ships keep coming, that dependence is invisible. When they stop, it becomes the only thing that ...

A lack of meaningful context makes discussions of Australia’s foreign and national security policy too uninteresting or difficult for many young Australians to understand. This works against the long-term development of a public mandate for ...

Once just a marketplace, the financial system is now a weapon of statecraft. Australia’s financial regulators hold the data that shows where the country is most exposed. That intelligence is a national-security asset but sits ...

Today marks the launch of the Darwin Dialogue 2026 report, From Exposure to Endurance: competitive endurance architecture for high-ESG mineral-specific supply chains. Australia and its partners have spent much of the past decade debating why ...

President Donald Trump’s 27 May threat to ‘blow up’ Oman if it didn’t fall into line was strategically self-defeating. With one off-the-cuff remark, the United States risked damaging the one quiet, trusted channel through which ...

Chinese reactions to Treasurer Jim Chalmers’s decision to order six China-linked investors to divest their holdings in Northern Minerals tells us far more than the decision itself. China’s Global Times publication condemned the move as ...

AUKUS is likely to dominate coverage of this week’s meetings between Australian and British foreign and defence ministers (AUKMIN) in London. All four ministers should use the opportunity to take back the narrative on the ...

With the sole surviving parent of North Korea’s Japanese abductees turning 90 this year, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is facing domestic pressure to act. She wants direct talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ...

For decades, Australia assumed economic power flowed from geology. Resource wealth delivered export earnings, government revenue and strategic confidence. The emergence of China Mineral Resources Group (CMRG) over the past four years suggests otherwise. In ...

The expertise of the South Asian sub-region is robust, so the title of Worst Defence Acquisition System is in safe hands. But Britain’s allies in a post-American world should worry that Blighty is as far ...
