Musk appointed to US taskforce on future of warfare
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that tech billionaire Elon Musk will lead a new Pentagon project, Project Meridian, examining the future of warfare. The project aims to identify the domains we must conquer and capabilities we must master, while addressing the use of weapons systems and artificial intelligence without direct human intervention. Hegsetsh also announced the creation of a new four-star Autonomous Warfare Command aimed at expanding the use-of-autonomous systems across the US military. The issue arose during a dispute between the Pentagon and US AI company Anthropic, who refused to use their technology in autonomous weapons or mass surveillance of US citizens.

Governments spending big to keep heavy industry going
The federal and Tasmanian governments have announced a combined $200 million support package for the Bell Bay Aluminium smelter in northern Tasmania. The mining company, Rio Tinto, had been in negotiations with the state-owned power company Hydro Tasmania over a new power deal. The gap between Hydro Tasmania's asking for a deal and what Rio Tina was willing to pay was about $60 million. The bailout allowed a five-year deal to keep the smelater running and employ about 500 people. There is still work to secure the smalter's future. Other Rio Tintine-owned manufacturing facilities have received almost $5 billion in government bailouts since 2025, including the Tomago smeltering near Newcastle in NSW and Boyne in Queensland.

Taiwan transfers naval commander to Coast Guard to boost deterrence against China
Taiwan President Lai Ching-te announced that senior Taiwan naval commander, Yuan Sheng-hua, has been transferred to the Coast Guard to increase coordination against China. This comes as China increases its maritime presence around Taiwan, despite Taiwan's objections. The move is part of Taiwan's military modernisation programme, which includes a focus on the Coast Guards as a "second navy". Lai emphasized the need for the military and Coast Guard more closely to respond to rapidly changing maritime situations. The Coast Guard, whose ships do not openly carry weapons, is regularly deployed to shadow and warn away the Chinese Coast Guard. China claims that its Coast Guard patrols off Taiwan's east coast to strengthen law enforcement in its "jurisdictional waters".
