I spent the week with the @USA_ASPI team.
ASPI is highly regarded across 🇺🇸 & we had discussions with the Admin, Congress, Committees, GOP & Dems, industry & thinktanks on China & competition, defence & deterrence, trade & tech.
If in, or visiting, Washington DC, drop by ASPI!

Great to visit @ASPI_DC which in a short time has established itself as a highly effective convening body for visiting Australians to engage with senior US policy makers and thought leaders 🇦🇺🇺🇸
Thanks to @PeterDutton_MP & @SenPaterson for visiting @ASPI_DC last week and leading a roundtable with US government officials, industry leaders & think tank partners that explored economic security, critical tech, strategic competition and the importance of 🇺🇸 🤝 🇦🇺 alliance.

Really important conversation to have at #SXSW. Threats to democracy know no border, and the rise of transnational repression should concern us all. Great to see @HRF & @ASPI_org driving this charge to new audiences here at South By.
ASPI's @DariImpio was thrilled to take part in 'Documenting Conflict Zones: Photojournalists vs. Influencers', a panel discussion hosted by @HRF at #SXSW!
The conversation explored state-backed content pushed by authoritarian regimes via online influencers, misinformation and disinformation, and more.

Thanks for having me, @ASPI_DC, and for convening an interesting group for this discussion.
ASPI's Washington DC team was delighted to take part in a conversation with @AmboRudd at @sxsw in Austin.
The conversation focused on mobilising private sector capital for AUKUS and national security more broadly.
Thank you to former US Ambassador John Berry and the @_aaausa team for hosting @ASPI_DC at Australia House!

This piece by @munro_bronte is worth reading:
"How AUKUS Plans to Outpace China with Defense Tech Investments: While legislative reform is imperative, a cultural shift within AUKUS governments must alter risk appetites towards working with the private sector." @TheNatlInterest @ASPI_DC
