"'You cannot be what you cannot see.'" hmm.

"Defence Minister Richard Marles [...] said the navy chief had been "right at the heart" of the government's hugely ambitious pitch to acquire nuclear-powered submarines under AUKUS." is this meant to be a ringing endorsement 🤨

I, too, can negotiate non-existent submarines.

"the government has not yet announced a replacement for the outgoing secretary of the Defence Department, Greg Moriarty, who has flown to Washington as the next Australian ambassador to the US" I would urge anyone with the surname of 'Holmes' to consider this opportunity deeply.

I would even accept a 'Watson'.
