In this episode of the Defence Connect Insight
Podcast, shadow minister for defence industry
and WA resources Matt Keogh discusses the opposition’s
response to the government’s $270 billion defence
investment over the next decade.
Keogh joins hosts Phil Tarrant and Steve Kuper to discuss feedback
from Australia’s defence industry as they pivot to respond to the
challenges of COVID-19 and the local push to develop a truly
sovereign defence industry capability.
Building on this, Keogh will expand on the growing need
for government to support the development of strategic
resource assets, learning the lessons from allies.
Finally, he discusses the growing promise of Western
Australia, not only as a defence industry hub, but as a “Five Eyes
defence services hub” for the Indo-Pacific and the industry,
economic and employment benefits supporting allied forces can
provide.
