The Issue with Tim Lester: 7NEWS sits down with John Powers, former US soldier and Australian citizen
For John Powers, it's a tough conclusion to reach. ' Australia is a strategic liability because of the waning capabilities that we have.' Powers is uniquely placed to comment on Australia's defence relationship with our great security ally, the United States. 'We have not manned and equipped and sustained our military, our ADF, so that it can keep pace materially and capability-wise with the United States,' he told 7NEWS. At first blush, it sounds self-serving, delivered with Powers' thick American accent. It presses the case US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth put to Defence Minister Richard Marles in late May: that Australia needs to increase its defence budget to 3.5 per cent of our gross domestic product, tens of billions of dollars more in military spending every year. In fact, John Powers is a dual citizen now living in Australia. He also brings extraordinary experience to the question of whether his adopted country is a good ally for his old country. Now retired, his experience as a US special forces soldier, brigade task force commander, and military intelligence specialist stretched across four decades — from Grenada in 1983 right up to the first Trump administration. Among his roles, he was a war planner. 'When we would put together plans, we would start with Australia,' he said. 'We'd always start to figure out how can we get the Aussies into the fray because when it comes to just grit and mettle and the intangibles of being a reliable soldier, sailor, airman ... you could not have a better ally.' These days, he's not trying to recruit Australians. He's speaking as one. 'I think we've underspent on defence from the standpoint of we don't have the capabilities that we need to even defend ourselves,' he said. On other issues, John Powers challenges American views. Loading content... He waves off a Chinese -owned company's contentious 99-year lease of the Port of Darwin. 'I don't think it's that big of a deal,' he said. 'This same company owns and operates ports in the United States.' When news of the 2015 agreement broke, he says he saw it as an intelligence opportunity '... to collect on the Chinese ... see how they do business, to be able to cross-pollinate with the Americans.' Powers cautions Australians who say assets like Pine Gap — the joint satellite surveillance base near Alice Springs — make us indispensable for US military intelligence. 'It's more important to the Australians than it is (to) the United States,' he said. 'We have similar bases or similar facilities in England, Turkey, Germany, places like that.' Powers argues 'with technology nowadays, you can … bend pipe that stuff back to Fort Meade, Maryland, and it all can be collected there'. He sees greater value, from the US point of view, in Perth and its 'very significant' future as a rotational base for American submarines. But on the biggest of defence hardware projects, he's a pessimist. 'I'm not an AUKUS fan,' he said. 'I don't think it's a good deal.' He doubts Australia will ever take delivery of the American nuclear-powered submarines promised under AUKUS. 'I'm not confident we'll ever see those three Virginia-class submarines,' he said. Now watching the friction between the Albanese government and the Trump administration, Powers is animated by one other issue: the tenure of Australia's ambassador in Washington. 'Mr Rudd should do the honorable thing and resign,' he said. According to Powers, his contacts back in the US are utterly clear on the issue. The fact Kevin Rudd is a former Prime Minister and respected voice on matters regarding China is beside the point. 'Mr Trump doesn't like him,' he said. 'And as a result of Mr Trump not liking him, nobody else in his administration is going to give him the time of day. That is a disservice to us as Australians.' For John Powers, any issue causing friction between the country he was born in, and the country he says he plans to die in, is a problem worth solving.

Renault says it's a challenger brand, but won't chase Chinese brands with its pricing
Renault may be off the radar of many Australian buyers, but its local boss insists the brand won't slash prices to shift the status quo. Talks of budget-minded Renaults were sparked at the local launch for the new Duster small SUV, which is now the brand's cheapest model and starts at $31,990 before on-roads. Despite cheaper segment competition, Renault Australia general manager Glen Sealey says the brand isn't interested in the "bargain basement area". "If you look at how typically the market is spread out today, that SUV segment that we talked about with Duster, and how 30 per cent sits below $30,000 – that's not us," he told media at the Duster launch. "We're not in that bargain basement area, but with Duster, we're not in that very premium end either, $40,000 to $45,000. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. "But we do have cars that sit there, which is Arkana, and we do have cars that sit above that, which is Megane E-Tech. So we're never going to be in that bottom 30 per cent, so to speak, but we will be in the fat, or the spike, of the segment, and we will be in the premium part of the segment. "And you will see that with all our products, whether it is the small SUV segment, whether it is the van segment, you will see that displayed all the way through." While unclear, that "bottom 30 per cent" likely encompasses many of Australia's newest small SUVs – particularly from newer Chinese challenger brands. The cheapest of these is the Chery Tiggo 4, priced from $23,990 drive-away, followed by the GWM Haval Jolion and MG ZS, both priced from $26,990 drive-away. There's also the base Mahindra XUV3XO at $23,990 drive-away, another brand looking to put its stamp on the small SUV segment. Still, arguably the most direct rival to Renault's Duster is the Suzuki Jimny, which costs $30,490 before on-roads in its base form. "We always operate as a challenger brand, because our volume is relatively low compared to the market. So we always see ourselves as a challenger brand," Mr Sealey added. "But the reality of life is we are able to command – as long as the product's good enough – a premium position within that segment." Mr Sealey's statement that Renault is a challenger brand is certainly backed up by relatively low sales, with 2871 so far this year – 958 of which were passenger vehicles. For context, the Tiggo 4, Jolion, and ZS have each outsold that figure by more than 10 times. Renault's current best-seller isn't a passenger vehicle; it's the Master van with 1210 sales.

Bugatti Brouillard: One-off coupe helps W16 engine ride off into the sunset
The Bugatti Brouillard is a special one-off model designed by the company's Solitaire coachmaking division in conjuction with its owner, and sends the W16 off in style. Although Bugatti has already revealed the first of its next generation of vehicles, the Tourbillion, which has a V16 plug-in hybrid drivetrain, the company has yet to wrap up production of the W16 Bollide track car and Mistral open-top. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. The Brouillard coupe is based on the Mistral roadster. Apart from adding a fixed roof, every exterior panel is unique, with the Brouillard swapping the Mistral's hard creases for softer surfacing and equine-inspired bulging muscles. According to Franky Heyl, Bugatti's design director, "The aesthetics of this car abstain from sharp lines in favor of more reflection-based surfaces that mimic a kind of athletic muscle, like a trained horse". That said, the two are still very clearly related with the two sharing head- and tail-lights, helmet visor-style glasshouse, and their overall silhouette. Named after company founder Ettore Bugatti's favourite thoroughbred, the Brouillard is full of horse-related details, which include embroidered horses in the door panels and seat backs, and a sculpture of Brouillard the horse encased in glass in the gear shifter. Brouillard is also French for mist or fog, if you really want to know, and this may have been the inspiration for the car's satin green paint job. Green is also used extensively throughout the cabin, where a two-tone green scheme that's certainly eye-catching and different. In a further nod to the car's equine theme, the horses on the seats have a tartan pattern. Although the Brouillard will one of the last W16 cars made, it is the first vehicle to come out of Bugatti's new Programme Solitaire coachbuilding service. Solitare will be limited to making two cars per year in order to ensure "each receives the complete attention and craftsmanship that it demands". Like the Brouillard, future commissions from Solitare will have a largely unique exterior, and heavily customised interior, but will use an off-the-shelf drivetrain. In the Brouillard case, this is carried over from the Mistral, so behind the passenger cell is a 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 making 1176kW or 1600 metric horsepower, and 1600Nm. It drives all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. No word on how much the Brouillard cost its owner, but suffice to say it will be significantly more than the €5 million ($8.9 million) price tag of a standard, unmodified Mistral.

Named after company founder Ettore Bugatti's favourite thoroughbred, the Brouillard is full of horse-related details, which include embroidered horses in the door panels and seat backs, and a sculpture of Brouillard the horse encased in glass in the gear shifter. Brouillard is also French for mist or fog, if you really want to know, and this may have been the inspiration for the car's satin green paint job. Green is also used extensively throughout the cabin, where a two-tone green scheme that's certainly eye-catching and different. In a further nod to the car's equine theme, the horses on the seats have a tartan pattern. Although the Brouillard will one of the last W16 cars made, it is the first vehicle to come out of Bugatti's new Programme Solitaire coachbuilding service. Solitare will be limited to making two cars per year in order to ensure "each receives the complete attention and craftsmanship that it demands". Like the Brouillard, future commissions from Solitare will have a largely unique exterior, and heavily customised interior, but will use an off-the-shelf drivetrain. In the Brouillard case, this is carried over from the Mistral, so behind the passenger cell is a 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 making 1176kW or 1600 metric horsepower, and 1600Nm. It drives all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. No word on how much the Brouillard cost its owner, but suffice to say it will be significantly more than the €5 million ($8.9 million) price tag of a standard, unmodified Mistral.
