This week we've got a summary from ADM Editor Katherine Ziesing on ADM's Cyber Security Summit 2016 held from 21-22 June. Deputy Editor-at-Large Nigel Pittaway reports from Munich on upgrades for the RAAF's KC-30A MRTTs and the Defence and Shadow Ministers go head to head in a debate at the National Press Club.
In other news the Lowy Institute's annual poll has some eyebrow raising results on matters affecting defence and security and RAAF F-35 'insiders' have been observing the workings of recent F-35 ferrying operations for future reference.
As the ADF's major interoperability Excercise HAMEL commences in South Australia, be sure to follow the latest via our social media channels,
