In this special episode of the Defence Connect Podcast recorded
live on-site at the Avalon International Airshow and Defence
Exposition, host Phil Tarrant is joined by the senior analyst of
defence strategy and capability at the Australian Strategic Policy
Institute, Dr Malcolm Davis, and Defence Connect journalist Steve
Kuper to discuss some of the challenges facing the Australian
defence landscape.
Dr Davis will share his thoughts on Australia's position in the
global defence environment, discussing the likelihood of Australia
being at direct threat and how Australian involvement could look in
future conflicts. He will address the gap that he believes has been
created with the retirement of the F-111 and will also expand his
take on the attitudes of defence leaders towards long-range strike
capability.
Finally, they will address the 2016 Defence White Paper and its
relevance in the current defence climate, the push to keep
Australian training and knowledge within Australia, and why
communication with the US defence sector is paramount to our
success.
