Concerns Australia cannot ‘afford' to pay for AUKUS Pillar One
The Australian's Washington Correspondent Joe Kelly discusses the 'huge concern' around Australia's defence spending and the AUKUS deal. The US Defence Department is increasingly concerned that Australia isn't pulling its weight when it comes to defence. 'This concern has been relayed to me, in a number of ways, most recently the concern that we can't even afford to pay for Pillar One,' Mr Kelly told Sky News host Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'That comment suggests that one of the things we might expect out of the AUKUS review is a request for Australia to pay more.'

US push for Australia to ‘step up' on defence aims to deter China
The Australian's Washington Correspondent Joe Kelly says the United States is pushing for allies such as Australia to 'step up' and share more of the defence burden. The US Defence Department is increasingly concerned that Australia isn't pulling its weight when it comes to defence. 'This is because they think that will contribute to a more effective deterrent against Beijing,' Mr Kelly told Sky News host Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'Implicit in that is really an admission that America can't deter Beijing on its own, at least not anymore.'

Turf war: Rabbitohs want Roosters thrown off training ground
The 117-year-old feud between South Sydney and the Sydney Roosters has exploded once again after the Rabbitohs demanded the removal of their arch rivals from a local high school. It comes just weeks after South Sydney's bid to move their home games from Accor Stadium to Allianz Stadium was shut down by Venues NSW after strong opposition from current tenants the Roosters. It appears South Sydney are now upping the ante in their feud with their bitter rivals after submitting a formal application to the NSWRL to have the Roosters removed from Matraville Sports High School. The Roosters have used the Chifley-based high school for almost 15 years as a training base for their junior representative teams. The NSWRL board recently came to a preliminary view that the rules were related to junior league teams and not the Sydney Roosters representative teams. Roosters CEO Joe Kelly, who is on the NSWRL board, has been removed from meetings and email correspondence to avoid any conflict of interest. South Sydney have now asked the NSWRL to reconsider its position and believes the Roosters junior representative program is an extension of the junior league. The Rabbitohs are arguing that their juniors are being enticed to join the Roosters because of the convenience of having the training facility in their area.
