The Prime Minister's Speech on National Security

The speech was maybe the fullest expression we've had of the morrison view on national security. It's been honed over recent years, edited in some respects ukrane invasion has been added and negative globalism has been toned down. Almost all aspects of government activity can be seen as potential elements of war fighting, and therefore of national security importance. The arc of autocracy is instinctively alining to challenge and reset the world order in their own image. We face the spectre of a transactional world devoid of principle accountability and transparency,. where state sovereignty, territorial integrity and liberty are surrendered for respite from coercion and intimidation. or economic entrapment dressed up as economic reward.
