Chihuahuas like Comando (sic) are known as alert and energetic companion dogs, but their size and physiology are not suitable for containment, tracking, or high-impact patrol work.
Comando's presence seeks to soften the image of the security force, created in 2019 under civilian command but transferred in 2024 to army control, a measure that sparked debate in the country over the growing militarisation of public security.

- The Reserve Bank of Australia has raised interest rates, taking the cash rate to its highest in 15-years to 4.6 per cent. It comes as underlying inflation remains stubborn at 3.6 per cent.
Economist Saul Eslake says the government has to “stop putting money in people’s bank accounts in the name of cost-of-living relief”. He says the measures are thwarting the Reserve Bank's intention to reduce growth in domestic spending.
