Story by Sky News Australia • 7h ago - 29-4-2023
The latest Defence Strategic Review is “arguably” Australia’s most important security document “in decades”, says Former Howard Government Minister Peter McGauran.
“It sets out – bravely I thought – China’s territorial expansion by name and in detail,” Mr McGauran told Sky News Australia.
“It sets out that the Americans can not by themselves check China’s expansion, declares the Indo-Pacific as the most important and conflicted region in the world because it brings China and America head-to-head.
“It allocates the right priorities which are over the horizon – defence capabilities as a deterrent by way of missiles and nuclear submarines.
“Very impressive document – which is why the government’s accepted its 62 recommendations unchanged.”
