It was an honour to be a part of the events for the King & Queen of Denmark’s visit to Australia. Few better settings than Melbourne’s Botanic Gardens. Congrats to @DKambAUS & team for such a successful week. So much in common, from critical minerals to support for Ukraine.

🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨 Our latest report, ‘Strategic surprise in the 21st century’, finds 🇦🇺’s ability to manage future national security crises will depend on how quickly it can identify risks, integrate information, decide and recover under pressure. 🔖: bit.ly/4lAaNiZ

The Northern Engine: Building Australia’s northern national defence ecosystem aspi.org.au/?p=52390 One of many well supported dimensions in this new @ASPI_org report by @johncoyne14 & @raelock "The Adelaide–Darwin and Brisbane–Townsville corridors aren’t simply transport routes; they’re the connective tissue that links Australia’s industrial heartlands to its most strategically exposed geography." #Australia #NorthernEngine #RegionalLogistics

epic work out of @ASPI_org on Australia’s northern frontier. “Strategic intent has sharpened, allied reliance has deepened, but the national machinery required to sustain, move and regenerate combat power in northern Australia remains incomplete”

NEW REPORT 📢 In ‘The Northern Engine’, @johncoyne14 and @raelock argue that while 🇦🇺’s defence strategy relies on the north as the decisive geography for deterrence and denial, the systems needed to make that strategy credible are yet to be built. 🔖: bit.ly/4daaxoL

@RodgerShanahan @ASPI_org Rodger, love your work but ASPI’s Strategist is available for all, not just authors with whom you agree or view as having the right expertise. It’s always best to take aim at the points made in a piece, not the person making them. Like all, you’re welcome to contribute a piece.

Dr. Malcolm Davis 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Two really excellent articles today in the @ASPI_org Strategist also relate to my above post. @ASPI_org Senior Fellow @BuchananLiz considers our shallow missile stockpiles and explores industry opportunities to make a greater contribution to burden sharing with the US at aspistrategist.org.au/as-us-depletes… and... @BassiJustin and @Marc Ablong make the strong case for spending more on defence at aspistrategist.org.au/when-the-world…
