This week I spoke to @SBSNews @STomevska about whether the new 🇦🇺🇮🇩Treaty could result in joint patrols in the #SCS - in short it’s unlikely - but I explain why below 👇 @NSC_ANU @LowyInstitute @UNSWCanberra

Today on #RemembranceDay, we honour those who served, those who never came home, & those who came home changed. For the @Australian_Navy, WWI was our 1st major test at sea. The legacy of those sailors lives on in every generation that serves today, across Navy, Army and Air
