translating the priorities into action.
They then analyse Labor’s recent commitment to conduct the first
Defence Force Posture Review in eight years to ensure the ongoing
warfighting capability of the defence force.
The pair then examine the relationship between primes and
Australian defence SMEs, and the impact that the recent pandemic
