Japan just unveiled a drone made entirely of cardboard. It flies at 120 km per hour, can be assembled in 5 minutes, and is designed to be used in massive swarms. The craziest part is it can be mass produced at any regular cardboard factory. The future is cheap. www.reddit.com/r/SECourses/...

Win for transparency. A joint motion between the Greens and David Pocock requested the national auditor to continue scrutinising the Department of Defence!

The Greens back the ACTU call for the ban on supermarket price gouging to start early. People can’t wait for July 1 while they’re getting ripped off right now. The Gov must make price gouging illegal economy-wide - not just at supermarkets - but on fuel, power bills, all of it.
