PODCAST: Australia’s growing need for a national security strategy, with Andrew Wallace MP

The pair begin their discussion focusing on the importance and need for the creation of a parliamentary joint committee on defence, with similar oversight powers to the PJCIS, to ensure that Australia’s elected representatives can conduct critical oversight of Defence.

The pair also discuss:

• Wallace’s recent analysis piece for the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, emphasising the nation’s growing need to develop and institute a whole-of-nation national security strategy, building on the work of the late major general and senator Jim Molan, AO, DSC.
• The number of societal, economic, and political challenges that serve to undermine and divide Australia, particularly for young Australians who feel disconnected from the nation’s future and our national security.
• The Coalition’s national security priorities and emphasis should it be re-elected at the upcoming federal election.
