Policy, Guns & Money: Election Interference, the Defence Budget & perspectives from PNG

In this episode of Policy, Guns and Money we talk to Fergus Hanson, head of ASPI's International Cyber Policy Centre about the likelihood and dangers of election interference. Our two grumpy strategists discuss the status of the Defence Budget in light of the upcoming election and we hear extracts of the keynote address delivered by Stephanie Copus-Campbell at the annual ASPI Gala Dinner. Stephanie has extensive experience in Papua New Guinea and provided an insightful view of PNG and it's growing importance to Australia as our closest international neighbour.
