Quick Glance: Plans for New Fighter Jets Delayed Despite Labor's Defense Budget Increase

The Albanese government is injecting an additional $50bn into defense over the next decade to extend military reach beyond Australia's shores.

While overall spending is increasing, approximately $73bn over 10 years is being freed up by cutting, delaying, or altering the scope of some defense projects.

The acquisition of new F-35 fighter jets is postponed by $3bn to keep existing Super Hornets operational longer and invest in long-range missiles.

Despite $10bn in savings over 10 years from scaling back new infantry fighting vehicle purchases, the government highlights a net increase of $5.7bn in the immediate four-year budget cycle for defense.

Quick Glance: Volcanic Activity in Indonesia: Mount Ruang Erupts

On Tuesday, the eruption of Mount Ruang in Indonesia resulted in the expulsion of hot lava and ash thousands of meters into the night sky, leading to the evacuation of numerous individuals in North Sulawesi province.

The eruption displaced over 800 individuals in nearby villages who are in immediate need of essentials like mats, blankets, and tents.

Situated in the notorious Ring of Fire, Mount Ruang is a stratovolcano where seismic plates beneath the Pacific Ocean surface collide, causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Prior to the Mount Ruang eruption, more than 300 volcanic earthquakes were recorded, with the reason behind the eruption timing remaining uncertain.
