I spent the week with the @USA_ASPI team.
ASPI is highly regarded across 🇺🇸 & we had discussions with the Admin, Congress, Committees, GOP & Dems, industry & thinktanks on China & competition, defence & deterrence, trade & tech.
If in, or visiting, Washington DC, drop by ASPI!
Very privileged to join some esteemed thought leaders discussing AI, Data, and Cyber capabilities in the context of national security. Thanks for hosting @Kennedy_School
With Sophia Gaston @sophgaston heading ASPI in London, it is now an “AUKUS Think Tank”, with a presence in Australia, the US and the UK. The roundtable focused on US, UK and Australian foreign, defence and security policy interests. #AUKUS
Pleased to host the Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s (ASPI) first London roundtable. Great to welcome Dr Charles Edel, Australia Chair @CSIS in Washington, Adam Leslie from @ASPI_DC Washington, & former Australian Ambassador to the US, Joe Hockey.
Great to visit @ASPI_DC which in a short time has established itself as a highly effective convening body for visiting Australians to engage with senior US policy makers and thought leaders 🇦🇺🇺🇸
ASPI DC helps provide Australia with a unique platform to convene and drive valuable discussions that are in Australia’s national interest

Really important conversation to have at #SXSW. Threats to democracy know no border, and the rise of transnational repression should concern us all. Great to see @HRF & @ASPI_org driving this charge to new audiences here at South By.
Successful Day 2 of ASPI events at @sxsw!
Our @munro_bronte & @dir_aspi_dc led a panel on Doing Business in the National Security Domain.
Topics discussed: tech industry as the new defense industrial base, AUKUS and skilled workforce development and investment in dual use tech.
This piece by @munro_bronte is worth reading:
"How AUKUS Plans to Outpace China with Defense Tech Investments: While legislative reform is imperative, a cultural shift within AUKUS governments must alter risk appetites towards working with the private sector." @TheNatlInterest @ASPI_DC
