Hundreds of Iranians have taken to the streets of Tehran to protest their government's "lies" over the downing of a Ukrainian plane.
After it crashed on January 8, the Iranian authorities denied speculation they'd accidentally shot it down, amid tensions with the US. One even claimed it was "scientifically impossible" for the Boeing 737-800 to have been hit by an Iranian missile.

The first two years of the Coalition government have been a pleasant surprise for those interested in defence matters.
They have a coherent defence story, particularly well set out in the 2019 Capability Plan, which builds on the work of the previous National government. They have been able to make the big multibillion-dollar procurement decisions, something that eluded the previous government. The Coalition government has even managed to gain some degree of acceptance from the Green Party about the direction of defence policy.

OPINION: Wow! It's a word I've uttered more than a few times over the past two weeks and sometimes the language used has been much stronger.
