[Jennifer Parker @JAParker29]

Pleased to be featured in the recent @WADefence discussing the historic decision to expand the @Australian_Navy' fleet in the 2030s. Whilst the timeframe is a significant issue for 🇦🇺, the decision is historic none the less.

In my latest, for @ussc, I spotlight the shifting military balance in the Indian Ocean. China will soon be able to exercise sea denial - an unprecedented threat to India (& its partners, Aus & US). How is India responding? (1/4)

The Parliament of Australia has publicly published my Antarctic monograph. I studied 2 decades of hansard, parliamentary debate & inquiries to find out how Australia conceptualised Antarctica. so what drives Australian parliamentary discussion/perceptions of Antarctica? 🧵

If the Great Central Road was sealed it would save 1200 km on the alternative route connecting Perth to Darwin.

Flooding has cut Victoria Highway for 2 weeks (estimated)

@WADefence Review caught up with @Austal Limited CEO Paddy Gregg at @IndoPacExpo 2023 in Sydney; where the #team were showcasing Australian naval shipbuilding capability.

Paddy was proud to highlight that the #Henderson #WesternAustralia shipyard had delivered 28 ships in the past 5 years (at the time of recording), and not only designing and constructing naval ships, but providing in service support, and developing innovative technologies that are enhancing vessel capabilities.

[Peter J. Dean @DefenceProf]

These are really positive moves by Army - this will give three littoral nodes in Darwin, Townsville and Brisbane - one for each Bde, it concentrates missile units in Adelaide where some of the best ranges in the world are and makes them easily …

[Brigadier Ben McLennan @3BrigadeTSV]

Some excellent amphibious training with our allies and partners in @TeamAFP and @USMC 🇵🇭🇦🇺🇺🇸

[Peter J. Dean @DefenceProf]

“Australia’s new approach of Archipelagic Deterrence is, as the DSR claims, shaping up to be the most ‘substantial and ambitious approach to Defence recommended to an Australian Government since 1945.’” ⁦@AOCarr⁩

Highly recommend. Great read. https://t.co/LqrULS4khb

[LTGEN Simon Stuart @ChiefAusArmy]

Earlier this year government gave direction for our Army in response to the Defence Strategic Review. In implementing this guidance, changes to Army’s command & control arrangements have come into effect.

I am proud to share that on 22 July at Fleet Base East, Sydney, @USNavy and #AusNavy will come together for a historical occasion, the commissioning of the future USS Canberra.

I look forward to sharing this occasion with my good friend @USNavyCNO.

[Fergus McLachlan, AO @FMcL2020]

On these numbers the current Army force structure is not sustainable. There will be hollowness across the organisation. The growth in headquarters and senior appointments cannot be sustained by a force of this size.

[WA DEFENCE REVIEW @WADefence]

Anzac Day, 25 April 2023: @WADefence acknowledges the dedication and sacrifices made by all Australians past and present, who have served our country in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations across the world.

Lest we forget!
