In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, host Bethany Alvaro is joined by Jennifer Parker, one of Australia’s leading voices on maritime security, to examine the rapidly evolving strategic environment in the Indo-Pacific and what this means for Australia’s naval capability, national preparedness and civilian resilience.
With more than two decades of service as a warfare officer in the Royal Australian Navy, Parker now serves as an expert associate at the Australian National University’s National Security College and works across a number of think tanks and universities, bringing both operational and strategic insight to the discussion.
The pair discuss:
- Recent Chinese naval activity and what Australia should take from it.
- Naval preparedness in relation to capability, workforce and time.
- Civilian readiness and if fighting from Australia is plausible.
- The importance of maritime security for Australia and the civilian way of life.
- The work to better connect Defence, industry and the public.
