G'day,

Drone defence is a growing industry, and one ASX-listed company is reaping many of the rewards.

DroneShield, which manufactures guns and jammers to help stop drones and sometimes have them fall from the sky, has shifted into a new HQ after it expanded its engineering headcount by 40 per cent and has picked up new multimillion dollar contracts. 

We take a look inside and dive a little deeper on the business of knocking drones out of the sky.

Meanwhile Coinbase’s Asia Pacific managing director John O’Loghlen has called for new laws that treat cryptocurrency assets and infrastructure differently to existing financial services.

And lastly we teach you how to break a very expensive vacuum (and what we actually really liked about it).
