Australian Defense Policy - The Sovereign Missile Enterprise

The vision of, as i see it, turning adelaide or brisban into huntshill, alabama. Another big, ambitious move. The question is how quickly it can get off the ground and how much it's going to cost. It will require another 100 to 200 billion dollars within the next ten years. So we're going to harden ourselves into a much more hard target. We're going to be able to target more forces, and therefore we'll build up a strike complex. And then third, and this gets to the strike is we want to become more lethal, more capable of holding forces at risk further off.
