‘Risk of conflict increasing’: Defence to get extra $50b over next decade
Quick Glance: Plans for New Fighter Jets Delayed Despite Labor's Defense Budget Increase
  • The Albanese government is injecting an additional $50bn into defense over the next decade to extend military reach beyond Australia's shores.

  • While overall spending is increasing, approximately $73bn over 10 years is being freed up by cutting, delaying, or altering the scope of some defense projects.

  • The acquisition of new F-35 fighter jets is postponed by $3bn to keep existing Super Hornets operational longer and invest in long-range missiles.

  • Despite $10bn in savings over 10 years from scaling back new infantry fighting vehicle purchases, the government highlights a net increase of $5.7bn in the immediate four-year budget cycle for defense.

  • A well-known Sydney bishop, stabbed during a sermon, had been warned of a potential attack on his life in recent weeks.

  • The bishop clarified that his potential passing would not be an attempt to escape or avoid life, but rather a conscious desire to be with God.

  • A 15-year-old boy was arrested after the attack on the bishop and three other men during a service at an Assyrian Orthodox church in Sydney's southwest. The bishop was taken to the hospital with multiple stab wounds and is currently in stable condition.
