The pair begin the podcast analysing how this week’s federal budget aligns with the DSR, and whether the spending allocations match government rhetoric for a stronger defence force.
Kuper then provides insight into how defence thinkers can rethink land, air and sea acquisition.
The podcast wraps up with a discussion of how Australia can strengthen its northern bases to provide stronger national defence – and enable impactful projection.
