Australia is working with the US and UK to build nuclear-powered subs and other military technology. It can be intentional — for example, a foreign intelligence service spreading election conspiracies on social media — or unintentional, as when someone unwittingly shares the foreign intelligence service's social-media posts. Australian officials look at the Collins-class submarine HMAS Collins in September 2021. Those Australian intelligence officials echoed worries that US officials have about foreign efforts to compromise AUKUS. US intelligence officials estimate that Chinese espionage steals US economic secrets worth between $200 billion and $600 billion a year.

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — It’s a frequent — and most often frantic — high-pitched yell when kids playing street hockey in North America know their game is about to be interrupted. While ice hockey in Australia is definitely non-traditional, it's been around for a while, and has a profile. Ice hockey has a surprising 120-year history in Australia. Organized hockey games featuring more North American rules started when ice rinks opened up a few years later in 1906 in Melbourne and Sydney. The first Australian-born NHL player — Jordan Spence — made his NHL debut during the 2021-22 season with the Kings.

The Matildas had beaten France in an extraordinary penalty shootout to reach the semifinals of the Women’s World Cup for the first time. The girls are smashing it and it’s a team effort … The country is going nuts. Co-host Australia will be confident in the semifinal despite England’s higher placing in the world rankings. In April, it was Australia which ended England’s unbeaten 30-match run with a 2-0 win, the Lionesses’ first loss under manager Sarina Wiegman. “We deserve to enjoy it, and we will because, at the end of the day, we’ve made history,” she said.

On the other side of the world in Auckland, the USWNT took down World Cup newcomer Vietnam 3-0. It was nonsense to worry about what to watch or whether Messi would upstage the women. MLS chief Don Garber, for one, says he’s not worried about the impact Saudi money could have on the ability of the MLS to expand into markets outside the US, especially as it failed to win Messi. Friday may have been the first time in his life that Messi was someone else’s opening act. The USWNT did what was expected, beating a lesser team in Vietnam, but they also have a lot of work in front of them.

May 8 (Reuters) - Tom Slingsby and his Australian crew clinched this season's SailGP Championship in San Francisco Bay on Sunday, notching up their third straight win and with it another $1 million prize. A dominant Australia held off a last-minute surge from runner-up Peter Burling's New Zealand in the three-boat final, with Ben Ainslie's Emirates Great Britain trailing in behind in what has been billed as sailing's answer to Formula One. There will be little downtime for the crews with SailGP's fourth season due to begin on June 16-17 in Chicago, the first of 12 events around the world which will culminate once again in San Francisco Bay in July next year. SailGP said that a new team, which it did not name, would be joining the others for the start in the next U.S. event.

'Crazy' Adelaide atmosphere raises the bar for LIV Golf
  + stars: | 2023-04-24 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
SYDNEY, April 24 (Reuters) - With sell-out crowds, beer-drenched celebrations and even a few "shoeys", the LIV Golf rebel tour delivered on its promise to change the face of the game at its 12th event in the Australian city of Adelaide at the weekend. "Everybody here in Adelaide has had just the best time," said English former world number three Paul Casey. "I smelled like beer the whole entire rest of the day," said Koepka, brother of four-times major champion Brooks. Cameron Smith, Australia's most recent major champion, finished fourth after a final-round six-under-par 66 and said the tournament had set the standard for the Saudi-backed circuit. "For Aussies, I think this is the benchmark for not only, I guess, Australian LIV Golf, but kind of world LIV Golf," said last year's British Open champion.
The Missing U.S. Submarines for Australia
  + stars: | 2023-03-15 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
President Biden in San Diego on Monday announced a deal to help Australia acquire U.S. nuclear-powered submarines, a step forward by a stalwart ally to check Beijing. But Mr. Biden isn’t highlighting the dysfunctions in American submarine production, nor the urgent need for a generational effort to expand the U.S. Navy’s undersea fleet. The Pacific and the world are at “an inflection point,” that will “affect the prospect of peace for decades to come,” as Mr. Biden said on Monday, and the submarine deal is an expansion of Aukus, the 2021 defense pact among the U.S., U.K. and Australia. The agreement has three planks: Putting submarines on station Down Under; offering the Aussies at least three U.S. Virginia-class attack submarines in the early 2030s; and a new, late 2030s submarine that blends British design and U.S. technology.
Nick who? De Minaur steps out of Kyrgios shadow

But De Minaur has filled the breach superbly at a tournament where Australians are now in short supply. "I'm very happy, I can't lie," De Minaur told the centre court crowd. Inflatable kangaroos bobbed in the Rod Laver Arena terraces and Mexican waves surged around the stadium in the third set as De Minaur put the foot down against Bonzi. "I wasn't sure what to expect, but to see a packed Rod Laver Arena was pretty special," he said. "I hope everyone that's on this court is going to go and support Alexei Popyrin," De Minaur said in a rallying cry to the Laver crowd.
"I know I came from college tennis and I really thought it was rowdy there, but this stadium is something special," a grinning Shelton said. "Us Aussies, we stick together," De Minaur had said in a post-match interview after the home fans watched him beat Benjamin Bonzi at Rod Laver Arena. The fans found their voice again in the second set when Popyrin took it to a tiebreak but Shelton was undeterred, silencing them again with both his firepower and finesse, closing out the set with another roar. "For the first 12 or 13 years of my life, I swore that I would never play tennis. Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru; Editing by Ken FerrisOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
Aussies put net-zero nationalisation on the map

MELBOURNE, Oct 21 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Nationalisation and capitalism are supposed to be like chalk and cheese. He also accused privately run energy generators of reaping huge profits “at our collective expense” without helping to achieve net-zero goals. If done right — and the details will be key — other governments facing similar net-zero challenges can take note. His plan involves restoring the State Electricity Commission to build new renewable energy projects. The SEC has not been involved in building energy projects since 1993 when the state’s energy assets were privatised.
Taste that rich filling for evidence of the Arab influence that infuses Sicilian cuisine: The candied citrus that often flavors the creamy interior remains beloved throughout the Middle East. In the 1990s, the cake became a menu star as a lava cake or molten chocolate cake. A soft, flaky dough is shaped into a plump half-moon that barely contains the sweet filling, then topped with a light blanket of powdered sugar. Variations on medovik differ widely, but the most popular takes incorporate one of two very Russian ingredients into the sweet filling.
