Cr Hudson and Garman begin unpacking the infrastructure that is needed to deliver large-ticket defence items, and how Australia needs a national security strategy to ensure a whole-of-nation approach to national security.
They then discuss what the federal and state governments need to do to deliver Defence capabilities and address the workforce gap.
The podcast wraps up discussing the rise of China and rising political uncertainty within Australia’s AUKUS allies.

Enjoy the podcast,
