My latest @ASPI_org special report arguing that the Australian government and the ADF must plan and shape the ADF’s energy future by taking advantage of the wider international and domestic energy transition that is underway.
🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨 In 'The Australian Defence Force and its future energy requirements' author @lightningulas details the need to futureproof the ADF and outlines how the ADF can rapidly transition towards renewable energy sources 📖 Read the report now: bit.ly/3n5aI9y

I&L2030, this very important document, is ready for release. Logistics is our pacing function. The ability to sustain forces will allow us to persist  and provide a more lethal capability to the joint force. @USMCSgtMaj and I need all #Marines to make logistics a priority.

My @ASPI_org colleague on space policy @lightningulas and @anuinspace’s superb space law thinker @CassandraSteer deliver a great piece on why it’s a good move for Australia to join a moratorium on direct ascent kinetic kill ASAT testing. I agree completely. Let’s do it! – at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

A real pleasure to co-author this piece with the inestimable @lightningulas who is seconded from @ASPC_Australia to @ASPI_org. Why it's in Australia's, the region's and the world's interests for Aus to commit not to test #ASAT s: it's a stag hunt for global norms
