    Allan Gyngell     |      September 21, 2021

    The AUKUS nuclear submarine deal shows we’re serious about China

    Michael Shoebridge     |      September 17, 2021

    The embrace of nuclear hunter-killer submarines and the new AUKUS partnership are a recognition of the fact that the threat we face from China is equally long-term. Changes of tone or shrewd diplomacy won’t deter aggression, but strong alliances and modern equipment just might.

    To defeat the few

    Andrew Davies     |      September 2, 2021

    The economics of defence industry self-reliance

    Rob Bourke     |      August 30, 2021

    Australia’s lacklustre productivity performance, vastly increased government debt from Covid-19, and structural deficits in the federal budget that are likely to persist for decades mean we must carefully prioritise Defence’s investment in capital equipment.

    Defence should lead from the front to solve the workforce shortage

    Rob Kremer     |      August 13, 2021

    Senior leaders of large defence employers understand the workforce challenge they face, but they also have the resources to tackle it, if they have the courage to do things differently.

    Safety versus security

    Teagan Westendorf     |      August 6, 2021

    Australia needs a clearer security strategy

    Jim Molan     |      August 2, 2021

    Paul Dibb     |      July 31, 2021

    In the face of an increasing torrent of abuse from Beijing, Canberra should seek a much clearer commitment from Washington that its United States ally will retaliate if China launches a missile attack against Australia.

    Michael Shoebridge     |      July 26, 2021

    To face the threat posed by China, Australia must fast-track new technology into the hands of our sailors, soldiers and aviators.
