FREO TODAY

Freo Today. 10 August 2026. No doubt we’ve all caught up with the Big News that the Minister for roads and many other important things has brought the New Bridge in early – but really no surprise there! Here’s another great eye in the sky snap from Les Moyle of Balm Commercial Photography showing how close things are. Will be an exciting Christmas! Thanks Rita!

In super-short, the Minister was at pains to assure/reassure everyone, Aussies included, that all is well with AUKUS and it’s full steam ahead. You can make up your own minds. In a slightly less than super-short summary, Minister Conroy said AUKUS is “happening right now”, highlighting expanded US - Australian submarine production, record‑performing Australian…
