Foreign buyer freeze: Should Australia take a maple leaf out of Canada’s book? in c/ausfinance@aussie.zone

No, I don't think such a step is needed, nor do I think it will have the desired result.

Short of a cap on the number of properties a person/entity can own, I think a reduction/removal of incentives for owning investment properties will go a lot further to helping lower property prices than just going after the low hanging fruit of "it's the foreigner's fault".

'If the Australians were around, I would hug them': Ukraine's soldiers thrilled with Bushmaster performance on battlefield in c/australia@aussie.zone

Honestly, the truth is probably both. This is definitely feel good propoganda but the bushmaster is very good at what it does so I'm sure it has saved more than it's fair share of lives. Sending more though is probably a matter of manufacturing capability.
