Rethinking Australia's Security Strategy

Former Director of War Studies for the Australian Army, Albert Palazzo, shares his vision for a radical rethink of Australia's National Security strategy, that he has laid out in his new book The Big Fix. He proposes moving away from our dependency on sovereign powers like the US, futureproofing our military by investing in drones and unmanned vessels, and re-prioritising our defence priorities to focus less on the threat of China, and more on the potential security threats that might come as climate change reshapes the world order, as part of what he calls a "strategic defence approach' to national security. 

Guest: Albert Palazzo, Adjunct Professor at UNSW Canberra in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and former Director of War Studies for the Australian Army.
