Island Australia- Improving Resilience In A Rapidly Changing Region - Part 1 DEFENCE

The aim of the RUSI of NSW Major 2021 Seminar is to provide a deliberate ADF related focus to our 2021 Lecture Theme of “Improving Resilience with a Defence and Security Studies Context”, by enabling senior ADF and selected other speakers to provide both an overview of the current situation and, where appropriate, suggestions for action.

The video record of the proceedings is split in two. The first segment covers the introduction followed contributions by Australian Defence Force representatives. The second segment (on a following video) covers the input by Australian Industry and Academic representatives.
