War, Global Capitalism, and Resistance on Mother Earth

In this episode of the Defence Property Podcast, Kane Dury from Discover Buyers Agency and Liam Garman, editor of Smart Property Investment, tackle the property questions that Australian Defence Force members can’t afford to ignore.

They explore how the Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest rate cut could impact borrowing capacity and why understanding these shifts early gives Defence buyers an edge.

The duo emphasise the power of expert guidance – from mortgage brokers who compare multiple lenders to accountants and buyer’s agents who know how to avoid costly traps.

Dury also sheds light on the Defence Home Ownership Assistance Scheme (DHOAS) entitlements, explaining how both active and Reservist members can use them to unlock new investment opportunities.

From the growing popularity of rentvesting to upcoming changes in first home buyer schemes, the episode equips ADF personnel with strategies to balance lifestyle and long-term wealth creation.

Es gilt, Europas Verteidigungsfähigkeit langfristig zu sichern – auch mit Blick auf stabile und tragfähige Finanzierungsstrukturen. In dieser Folge von KPMG on air sprechen die KPMG-Experten Pier Stefano Sailer, EMA Head of Government & Public Sector, und Tyler Horn, Assistant Manager im Bereich Defence, über die Rolle privater Kapitalmärkte bei der Finanzierung sicherheitsrelevanter Unternehmen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen aktuelle politische Leitlinien, ESG-Vorgaben und die Frage, wie nachhaltige Kapitalflüsse für den Verteidigungssektor mobilisiert werden können. Grundlage des Gesprächs ist eine Studie der European Defence Agency und KPMG, die zeigt, warum viele mittelständische Rüstungsunternehmen bislang kaum Zugang zu privatem Kapital erhalten – und welche konkreten Stellschrauben für mehr Investitionen entscheidend sind.

Sicherheit braucht Kapital – Neue Wege in der Verteidigungsfinanzierung

Tonight, Wednesday, September 24th, at 6 pm on The Brian Crombie Hour I interview ✅ Dominic Cardy. 👉 ALL my 🎤 podcasts and 🎦 video casts can be accessed any time on my web site https://briancrombie.com which holds repository of all my shows. 📌 Dominic Cardy, leader of the Canadian Future Party and former New Brunswick Education Minister, raises urgent concerns about Canada’s immigration and defense priorities. He warns that next year hundreds of thousands of temporary foreign workers may lose their legal status, stressing the need for better integration to avoid social tensions. He cautions that the asylum system risks collapse from unjustified claims, harming true refugees and eroding trust. On defense, Cardy argues that a global conflict is already unfolding with Russia, China, and allied forces escalating threats. He calls for Canada to boost defense spending, invest in modern technologies like drones, and reduce reliance on the U.S. for security.

This is a song about the strength of the people, about faith and hope, about a country that is weary but not broken. Every line is filled with the spirit of struggle and the light that guides us through the darkness.

Unbroken

Prime Minister Mark Carney's pledge to increase Canadian defence spending to two per cent of GDP could present considerable economic opportunities for Ottawa-based companies.

The multi-billion dollar commitment goes beyond reinvigorating Canada’s Armed Forces; the Prime Minister aims to use military spending to bolster industrial policy, extending into high-growth areas like AI, cybersecurity, quantum computing and R&D.

In this episode of Techopia Live, Ottawa Business Journal publisher Michael Curran speaks with Brian Kells, an associate lawyer with Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall LLP, who specializes in business law. Kells, who served in Canada’s infantry for nearly 15 years, including time in Afghanistan, reflects on the economic potential of new defence procurement and what entrepreneurs should consider when contemplating doing business with the military.

The podcast dissects the new defence policy and identifies the specific business openings created by this massive modernization effort. This is essential viewing for Ottawa entrepreneurs and tech leaders seeking to understand how their companies can capitalize on the biggest defence tech boom in Canadian history.

Let’s take a deeper look into drone warfare and the long-term changes it is bringing to the battlefield. How is Ukraine countering Russian drone attacks? How is it developing systems of drone interceptors? Are we moving toward a future where drones will fight other drones? And what skills must our societies cultivate to prepare for this new reality?

Joined by Chris Kremidas-Courtney and Jonas Singer, the discussion dives into the challenges of integrating civilian innovations into military systems, critiques the outdated “dual-use” concept, and highlights what Europe, especially Germany, must change to stay ahead in defence innovation.

Australia's Liberal-National Coalition partners have controversially abandoned their 'Net Zero' emissions policy in favour of a more balanced, pragmatic approach. This important distinction between ruling Labour government and conservative opposition is inspired by a newly released policy paper from the Page Research Centre.  "Delivering a High Energy Australia" argues the net zero strategy is failing due to rising costs, industry decline, and environmental damage. It proposes a High Energy Australia approach that prioritizes lower energy prices, reduces emissions at a realistic pace and embraces all energy technologies, including nuclear, coal, and gas. Piers and Simon Mulvany offer their perspective.
