By Linda Reynolds, Minister for Defence
This is an edited text of the Minister for Defence’s address to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.
It’s not by chance that my first domestic address as minister is before an expert audience grappling with the challenges that are rapidly redefining our strategic environment. Challenges that are engaging our sources of national power, in new and old ways. Challenges that are also impacting on the defence force Australia needs to have, now and into the future.
