🧡 about what the πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Strategic Defence Review #SDR2025 means for Australia. Spoiler 🚨: it's mainly good news, but likely needs more money than currently pledged. More analysis soon from @graham_euan & other @ASPI_org experts. Great timing for ASPI Defence Conference tomorrow!

It was an honour and privilege to reflect upon the immense sacrifice that so many made in Europe in WW2. It is also a stark reminder that peace cannot be taken for granted as war continues into its fourth year in Ukraine.

It is always an enormous privilege to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms and values we enjoy and hold so dearly today. And to reflect alongside ADF colleagues was very special indeed. #WeWillRememberThem #ADF
