Subs leak

So Turnbull’s submarines are not just overpriced, delayed and built by an unreliable ally, but they’ve already sprung a leak:

Cameron Stewart:

The French company that won the bid to design Australia’s new $50 billion submarine fleet has suffered a massive leak of secret documents, raising fears about the future security of top-secret data on the navy’s future fleet.

The stunning leak, which runs to 22,400 pages and has been seen by The Australian, details...

Book cold

My book is on an odyssey, visiting Bath, the skulls of Montpellier, York Minster, Shanghai, Croatia, Ho Chi Minh City, Santorini, London, Lake Como, Ithaca, Scotland, the Bay of Naples, Dubrovnik, Fiji, Aileron, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, the Andes, the Northern Territory, the Whitsundays, Kalgoorlie and Condabri, Queensland, before invading Australia’s most Left-wing Parliament - an experience which convinced one reader at the Katharine River...

Powell contradicts Clinton: refuses to take blame for emails

Who can trust a word Hillary Clinton says?

Colin Powell, the former US secretary of state, has disputed testimony that Hillary Clinton gave to the FBI and said he did not advise her to set up the private email system that has dogged her presidential campaign.
