With many of the ADM team in Darwin this week for our Northern Australian Defence Summit, Online Editor Patrick Durrant leads the week with his highlights from day one of the event with more to follow.
In other news, shipbuilding remains a hot topic for government and industry. ASC is on the front foot with their appearances before numerous government committees and the release of their annual report.
But I have to say that I'm disappointed that yet another week has passed without news on the OPV program. The schedule is tightening for a program that has promised to cut steel next year. As soon as ADM knows more, so will you.
