Sky News Weekend News Day

Jane appeared on Sky News Weekend News Day with political reporter Reuben Spargo to offer analysis of the federal budget and Australia's evolving strategic environment. While welcoming the $53 billion defence commitment, Jane noted it largely keeps pace with inflation, and highlighted the budget's deliberate focus on regional partnerships, particularly with Indonesia and India as the more significant long-term signal. She also assessed the recent Trump-Xi summit and cautioned that China may pursue its objectives on Taiwan through non-military means rather than direct conflict.
