Yeah, so more of the same from Pauline Hanson.

We've had this kind of discussion before about whether she could potentially lead.

We actually deep-dived it, oh, God, I want to say towards the start of the year when the polling was first really starting to build in favour and we asked the question, could Pauline Hanson be Prime Minister?

Yeah, technically, and especially if she ran for a House of Rep seats.

By convention, the Prime Ministership goes to someone who does sit in the House of Rep, so she might change up where she's running and potentially go for one of those spots.

Sticking with politics and Australia will not be getting any new submarines in a shake-up to the AUKUS pact.

Under the initial deal, which was announced way back in 2021, Australia was supposed to receive three Virginia-class subs, two used and one brand new.

Now they'll all be second-hand in a move Defence Minister Richard Miles says will save taxpayers money.

Yeah, interesting to see that particular development come out of this meeting with the AUKUS leaders.

You know, we don't really talk much about the underwater cables and what goes on.

I think we might have to deep dive it because it's really interesting.

And the fact they are putting this focus on how to protect them and keep an eye on them, that's also quite an interesting development.

Look, in terms of the submarines, there is this kind of idea or this question that

Australia's hand has been forced.

We wanted one of those submarines to be built brand new, but the US just can't keep up with production.

Its shipyards aren't putting out enough of these Virginia-class subs in order to supply Australia with one.

Right now, they're producing around 1.1 to 1.2 of these submarines each year.

I know it's a weird technical number, but that's about how far they're getting in the process every 12 months.

The target yearly rate is 2.33, so they're

the idea that Australia just wanted to save money?
