My Dad was a 19 year old Royal Marine Commando when he witnessed the surrender of the Japanese generals in Singapore - and subsequently helped liberate POW camps including Changi, Syme Road and Landswell ...

I have to say, I’m not a fan of Allan Behm (now with The Australian Institute) because, in this short article at least, he makes assertions that are light on defense and imply assumptions that are not divulged. In this case it is about #AUKUS of course, if a horse may be beaten to death, this one is surpisingly resilient.

“So, we are now left with huge investments focused on a single capability, without any consideration of the suite of capabilities Australia needs for its defence, and where just one of those capabilities — submarines — fits in.”

There are so many things wrong with the quoted segment above. I will only address the most important of these. There are valid strategic and tactical requirements for the RAN to field submarines. These were first identified after #Federation (our first subs arrived from the UK in 1914 and were deployed to our North against the German navy). and while a lot has changed since, the basic requirements were never made redundent given there have been many successful submarine procurements and deployments since WW One. So let no one question where these boats will ‘fit in’ lest it demonstrates an anomalous understanding of the matter (its kinder than saying erroneous). And Behm should know better if his resumé is any guide. There are a lot of thing to look at in this AUKUS Tier One *Deal* and much of it rightly ought to be brought to light and publically discussed, but whether Australia needs submarines or not is not one of them.

I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again. I will always support ADF members in their requirements for the best platforms and weapon systems in order to give them the best odds of successfully carrying the tasks assigned to them by the govt of the day. And for submariners this is especially important.

Der 20. Juli ist Tag des Erinnerns an Offiziere und Akademiker, die versuchten durch Ermordung Hitlers einen wahnwitzigen Krieg eines Unrechtsregimes zu beenden. Ehrwürdig ist das sicher.
Aber im öffentlichen Gedenken geht der Schreinergeselle und Hilfsarbeiter Georg Elser unter, der schon vorher das Selbe versuchte, und ebenfalls nur knapp scheiterte.

At about this time, on 6th June 1944, my grandfather, CPO Adam Agnew, was landing troops on Juno Beach as part of Operation D Day. The order of the day is Up Spirits, as a result. God bless and rest them all, proud #antifa that they were. #LestWeForget

May no Australian politician, CEO or military leader ever again require any of us sacrifice our children to a conflict for which they would not first volunteer their own to the front line. #AnzacDay #auspol #LestWeForget

It was a pleasure to join fellow members of the Australian-Irish Heritage Association this morning in Subiaco, to commemorate #ANZAC Day, and specifically those Irish-born diggers who lost their lives in the Great War. #LestWeForget

#LestWeForget Freedom isn't free.
On #AnzacDay I honour my #McGowan family & all the brave men & women who served & fought for our future. #anzacday2026

Each ANZAC day, I try to reflect on how war has affected my family and ancestors.

This time, I've chosen William Curtius - also known as Wilhelm Kurtz, Ritter Johann Wilhelm von Curti, Wilhelm di Curti, Sir William Curtius FRS of Sweden.

Dawn Parade this morning at the Auckland War Memorial Museum. A good turn-out, with Alf Filipaina subbing in for Wayne Brown. The service acknowledged the people of the Pacific Islands for their contribution, serving in the wars. #LestWeForget #AnzacDay2026
