No escaping it, China is trying to coerce us, with Mike Pezzullo

  • Summary

  • In this episode of the Momentum Media's Defence Connect Podcast, host Steve Kuper is joined by former secretary of home affairs, Mike Pezzullo, to unpack the precedent established by Beijing’s naval taskforce circumnavigating Australia and how to deal with more in the future.

    The pair discuss a range of issues, including:

    • The government’s response to, and the timeline behind the notice of the Chinese naval taskforce’s live-fire training exercises in the Tasman Sea.
    • The tactical and strategic ramifications and shortfalls on display in the Australian Defence Force and government’s response to the taskforce.
    • A suggested crash course program to rapidly accelerate Australia’s level of tactical and strategic preparedness within the next term of Parliament.
