A really interesting (and provocative) contribution in today's @ASPI_org Strategist from Jeremy Stredwick on the future of national security classification in Australia. https://t.co/tRxQnx09Ya

“Australia must develop robust, interdepartmental and whole–of–nation exercises based on potential conflict scenarios or it risks discovering when lives are at stake that it’s ill–prepared”, writes Eric Lies and Jeremy Stredwick. https://t.co/waIDB3Tp2L

'The ADF needs a new way to recruit and retain hard-to-find experts, such as specialist engineers. Current systems do not allow for the flexibility that the 21st century demands, nor do they match industry salary standards,' writes Jeremy Stredwick.

@SecurityScholar Congratulations!

Great insights from @MichaelS_SAA here. If we go to war with the force we have we are in for some troubling times

[Michael Shoebridge @MichaelS_SAA]

"This paralysed, internally focused & confused Defence organisation is not what Australia needs right now.  We need a new Tange to remake this top heavy organisation - so that the firehose of public money creates military power & people want to join it." https://t.co/uGKEjT4IPL

@FMcL2020 @FMcL2020 In 2011-12 the ADF was 56,364 in 2021-22 the ADF was 59,803

@austdef This policy by Defence applies to all members of all types. From a junior soldier leaving medically to a senior officers, it’s not about conflicts of interest. It puts veterans in position of not having jobs to go to. Defence should be the employer of choice for veterans.

A great team!

Former senior defence official tells @abcnews “This demonstrates failure of Pacific Step-up. We have always been too cheap in the Pacific. If China sets up a permanent presence in the Solomons then the ADF is done. We would do nothing else but obsess over and try to counter that”

[C. August Elliott @CAugustElliott]

One thing this war has definitely shown is that the cyber domain, while novel and transformative in some ways, is probably overstated in importance. The digital realm is niche and gucci but it is not the main event. As ever, what matters most is manoeuvre, firepower and logistics

Three days since the invasion began. In the past 24 hours, we have seen Russian advances in the north, south and east. Ground gained in the north has been particularly costly for Russian forces. My 3rd set of observations, noting the ongoing abundance of ambiguity. 1/24
